PSA: If you’re sending updates, which you should since Creighton is very receptive to them, don’t grovel. Tell them about your accomplishments/changes since submitting your app. They don’t need another secondary essay about how your new experiences lend themselves to being a good doctor. These are real people, with the ability to see through bs, reading these updates.

I'd say that ~50% of the M1/M2 class lives in an apartment complex directly across the street from the medical school. The convenience is big time.

While its possible to get by without a car... I'd highly recommend having one. The main teaching hospital is like a 10 minute car ride from campus.

Where do first years spend most of their time? Are classes at the main teaching hospital or the cardiac center? Thanks!

M1's spend 90% of their time in the cardiac center - that's where classes are. I'd say 2-4 hours/week are spent in Criss (depending on which block you are in) which has the anatomy lab. Once a month or so you spend time at Bergan (teaching hospital) or another clinical location.

I flew into Omaha, only 10-15 mins away from campus. Highly recommend staying with a student host too-- you get picked up/dropped off and it was a great experience!

Does anyone know what waitlist movement looks like here?

 

[Zibob]

Does this school take ITA emails? I'll be in town in the next few weeks. Should I even send one pre-II?

 

[WatashiSauce]

When I called and asked, it was mentioned that we won’t see much movement until the second week of May - if any. It depends on what the people currently accepted do. The average MCAT for those accepted this year is pretty high!

What was the average and how'd you find out?

Has anyone heard back about the deans diversity scholarship?

I received a financial aid package today with no scholarship. So I didn't get it?

Yeah I didn't understand that either

 

[yogglo]

Did you send in your transcripts and do the registar thing before you guys got your packages? Cause I didn't know we had to do that yet

 

[Zibob]

What should I expect for the interview? Stressful or more conversational? What types of questions are most common?

Very chill and conversational, probably one of my most laid back interviews for sure, you’ll do great

Nope! Just fafsa

 

[jackthephysician]

Is there an estimated time for the final secondaries to be sent out?

 

[Tiran145]

Is there an estimated time for the final secondaries to be sent out?

Secondaries? Um it’s a little late for that. It’s February so the interview are gonna start wrapping up in a couple months...I think if you haven’t gotten one already it’s not gonna happen. I think everyone gets one so you should maybe check your spam? But honestly filling it out this late is kinda pointless.

Not sure but last year they continued to send IIs up until March.

 

[ahembearr]

Put on alternate list, interviewed 1/10

 

[ColobomasAreWeird]

You may not hear back until later in the cycle. I received the scholarship in April, and it didn't appear in my portal until May.

 

[stealthowl]

Accepted this morning! Interviewed 1/10. Good luck to everyone/fellow interviewees!

 

[mde070]

II just now, OOS. Only dates available are 2/14 and 2/21!

Edit: Withdrew my application. Good luck to everyone!

I sent an ITA last week and got an II this morning!

 

[NXSRICHA]

What is the alternate list? And how does it work?

 

[Zibob]

Anyone know roughly what the post interview acceptance rate is?

 

[Cornfed101]

Anyone know roughly what the post interview acceptance rate is?

~60%. I asked in my interview in September and Ryan (admissions director) said they accept roughly 400.

 

[Strigggy]

Received an II this morning -- However, didn't get any logistical information regarding timing, location, etc. Anyone know if I will receive another email with this information or if I can find it anywhere?

I remember receiving another email the week of the interview with logistical information.

Cardiac center at 8 am. I think the day goes until 2. Then you have a tour after.

 

[Biogal]

Anyone happen to know how many they’ve accepted so far? I’m wondering if it’s worth it to go to the interview if I’m the last date possible :/

 

[sdCAmd]

Been accepted for awhile now, but never got a financial aid package--anyone else?

 

[yogglo]

+1

I was accepted at the end of November, and I just got my financial aid package last week if that helps.

[NXSRICHA]

Alternate list, interviewed 1/10

My student interviewed same day and was placed on alternate list. Not sure what’s the chance?

 

[tyrannosaurus_racks]

I submitted my FAFSA on 11/8 and Creighton emailed me saying they received my FAFSA on 12/17

Judging from the facebook page, I'm estimating 100-120 students have accepted thus far. Don't worry if it's the last day. Go in, have fun, be yourself and you may find yourself walking away with an acceptance offer in 4 weeks.

Not in the fb group but I will likely attend

Has anyone interviewing this weekend heard anything in regards to an interview schedule? Does anyone who has interviewed have any insight? I haven't heard anything past the invitation and scheduling confirmation.

If I remember correctly, after checking in there is a presentation on the school (with refreshments), then a presentation on financial aid, then the interviews (one with a current M2 and one with a faculty member), then lunch with current M1s and M2s, then the tour (med school facilities and campus).
