My letters of rec have disappeared from my secondary portal...does this just mean they've made a decision (accepted, accepted with conditions, on hold) or is it perhaps an indicator for one certain decision? Would they answer if we called on the weekend?

You may need to call them tomorrow. I hope you will receive email tomorrow.
All the best.
 
Interviewed 9/23, Letters are still up. So it just means a decision is made, not indicative of which decision right? Good luck everyone!

Edit: Decision being made once the letters are taken down, that is
 
Congratulations!!

Just got the alternate email...ah well, guess more waiting

Accepted also! Especially sweet since I'm a reapplicant.

Me too! Congrats! 🙂

I will say that, as a reapplicant, I felt that Creighton was the school that wanted me to succeed the most. They really tried their best to help me figure out how to improve my application in order to achieve acceptance.
 
@Snoopy528 Yea, I felt the same way. I love how transparent and friendly their office of admissions is and I feel that this trickles down to the students there too.

To people still applying to Creighton or planning on applying, definitely take advantage of their open-door policy. It really helped me figure out where the weaknesses were in my last application.

Congrats!!!!!!! Creighton is such a good school and they really cares about their students!

Seems like they are starting to process September interviewed people. I interviewed in late September, hopefully they get back to me soon.

do they actually interview until feb? Seeing everyone's acceptances is making me feel happy for everyone, but crappy about my application situation

Yes, they do! And even those late interviews are interviews for spots in the class (not just the waitlist). I know someone who interviewed that late and is now an M1 there. On the contrary, last year I had an early interview and was waitlisted. Remember that most people will only post about their good news and keep your chin up! Best of luck to you!
 
Hey all, So I interviewed 9/24 and I noticed people saying they were accepted on Monday but nothing on Tuesday or today so far. Does anyone know if they are still actively reviewing and sending acceptance emails or do they have a schedule where they only send them out on specific days?

I have another interview scheduled for 11/7 in PA. If I get into Creighton, then I am going to cancel that interview. Still no news from Creighton tho, interviewed on 9/24. Should I call in to ask?

Same! I have an interview in Iowa on 11/11 which I will cancel if I am accepted. I am in Cali and flying to Iowa means I am going to miss a lot of school plus its expensive. I was considering calling. I am a bit confused because the director of admissions happened to be at my school a week ago and said that our interview group should expect an answer on last Monday. Maybe call? If you do please tell me what they say!

I'm from Cali too! I totally feel you. I work full time and taking time off is so hard and interview costs are adding up.

When did you interview?

Btw, the school in PA that I'm talking about it TCMC. idk if I should go to that interview cuz I loved Creighton so much when I visited last month. Should I still interview at TCMC just to check it out? But $$$ tho

The way I see it is always better to have options. I don't wanna look back in 2 years and regret not checking it out

I interviewed 9/24 same as you. I really loved Creighton and while I know its good to keep options open I would go there in a heartbeat if they accepted me. This wait is so intense. I can't help but check my email like every 20 minutes.

Seriously. I would totally go here! Loved it! I know patience is a virtue.....but it's a virtue that I don't have.....yet.....cuz I don't have patients yet. Lol. Anyway, yeah, I check my phone 473826268227 times a day

For those who are complete, what message do you see beneath the "Status of Required Materials" heading?
 
does Creighton have a regional bias? like do they tend to accept students from non neighboring states?
 
I was complete here around 8/14. OOS (Az) It's been complete silence since. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Previously a large amount of students from Minnesota. I think they post stats in website.

Hi guys, So I decided just to call and check on their timeline yesterday because I didn't know if I should schedule flights now for a different interview or try to wait another few days to hear back from Creighton. I interviewed 9/24 and they said that interview group should hear back within the next two weeks.
