Are the interviews open or closed? I received an interview about a month ago and I am yet to receive the name of my interviewer.

They will tell you the name of your interviewers when you get there for your interview day. They are open interviews. My interviewers had my AMCAS with them and referred to it throughout the entire interview.
 
The interviews are open file (they have access to your AMCAS and secondary). One is with a faculty member and the other is with a current student. At some schools if you call the admissions office before your interview they may tell you the name of your interviewers (if you want to read up on the faculty member's background to have some questions during the interview). I personally didn't call ahead but if you would really like to know you could definitely give it a shot -- the office of admissions is super friendly and helpful so they may be open to it.

Most definitively! Going to be coming in around 1:30 pm for my first time in Nebraska ever. Are they still doing that student dinner on Friday nights (I haven't got any emails about it).
 
Any OOS'ers still waiting post secondary completion for anything from Creighton? Complete around 8/25 and not a word/status change since.

I did not, and I interviewed on one of the first available dates. Looks like we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone waiting on a decision!!

would you mind sharing when that was, or at least what month you interviewed? I'm just curious 🙂

Nice! I'm coming in around 1:30 as well! Are you doing the student hosting program? And I thought they are still doing dinners, but you're right, I haven't seen anything sent about it either...

Are you leaving from Chicago for that flight? If so were probably on the same plane! I actually just emailed the host program today but I am still waiting for confirmation. Going to be staying for 2 nights since I waited to long to book and a flight no longer existed for me Friday night.
 
Yes I am! United from O'Hare?? And nice! I need to submit my form, staying two nights as well! This is exciting! Maybe I'll wear a superman costume or a big sign that says "I'm Supraspinatus....if that means nothing to you, then nevermind...."

I know for my interview day we didn't get any information about the dinner until we got there. There was a little flyer in our folders about when and where the dinner was.

Please wear a cape or something 😛. Looks like were taking the same flight! I have a little over a hour lay over in Chicago. PM me if you wanna get lunch (brunch?) together at the airport or something.
 
Actually, I think they were under "check status"

Edit: never mind, I think that is the same place! Good luck 🙂
 
ahhh I know, it's so hard to be patient at this point!

How are the research opportunities here?

There are plenty of opportunities to research. Find a topic that you like, talk to a doctor and a researcher, and go for it. They are more than willing to help. (I'm a second year with several projects currently underway)
 
On my interview day I spoke with a PhD faculty member who told me about the current expansion of the research programs that is underway, which includes a new "translational biology" department. Creighton is definitely doing a lot to increase research opportunities for students, so I wouldn't be too worried about finding research if you decide to go here.

Did Creighton give an update as to when they're supposed to send out decisions by? This is making me so anxious!
Click to expand...

Nope, haven't heard anything officially from CU, but according to MSAR decisions can be released anytime after October 16th! Some of us have noticed that out letters of recommendation have disappeared from the portal, and in the past that has meant a decision has been made on the application. All we can do now is wait for official news ...

Mine have disappeared too! Any time now! Good luck you guys 🙂
 
Haha yeah my prediction was totally off. Here's to hoping we hear something today!
 
Any pre II news for anyone lately?

Complete 9/2, still nothing.
 
Congratulations everyone! So when should I start getting worried? Haha. Completed mid-July with some pretty good stats and lots of EC's.. Haven't heard a thing.
