Where does it say which campus we are assigned to? I was told that we wouldn't find out until April!

Check on your portal where it says a decision has been made. Mine says like "campus assigned: phoenix"
Pre-II R

Yes. Idk if they publicize it but my tour guide told me that last year.
Pre-II R.
Does anyone know if they allow for tours of the Phoenix campus? Or if we are even allowed to enter the building and explore?
I'm visiting Phoenix in a few days and thought I might check it out. Thanks in advance!

Pre-II R. I appreciate that they are offering general application advice, though this part of the email made me laugh/groan:
"If you were accepted and plan to matriculate at another medical school, congratulations! Well done and we wish you all success.
If you were not, read on."

With some students now spending all four years at the Phoenix campus, does anyone know if there will still be an option for Omaha students to complete their M3/M4 years in Phoenix?
Well stated. Applicants desperately seek feedback from other schools' Admissions and in many cases and by policy they do not provide it. It speaks well to Creighton's Jesuit mission that they take the time to provide applicants much valued feedback. At the end of they day, after all that hard work and accomplishment who is not seeking answers. Just curious was the feedback centered around research hours or direct patient clinical volunteer hours or shadowing? Both opportunities were decimated with COVID and applicants losing their planned for hours in those areas leaving them hanging.

Agreed. It's a nice thing to do beyond the general silence and "reach out to your pre-med advisor" line that most offer (or the worst alternative IMO--"here's out Masters program" etc.). While the feedback will not be personalized, they state the presentation will cover the following:
1. Provide insight into this cycle's application pool nationally and at Creighton
2. Provide general feedback on the common application pitfalls
3. Describe resources and mitigation strategies
4. Suggest a plan for moving forward
5. Provide guidance on how to improve the various elements of your application (essays, AMCAS, letters of recommendation, etc.)
6. Describe ways to handle suboptimal GPA, MCAT scores, physician shadowing hours, and non-medical service experiences
7. Review effective interviewing strategies
8. Learn how to highlight your unique strengths
9. Offer approaches for non-traditional students

Haha compared to most it was encouraging and reassuring, but totally agree with you on that intro!

Pre-II R. They get points for being the most interesting R I've received, though tbh.

I am assuming not since the building is not finished! They are doing a virtual second look day for admits at the end of april though.

I believe there is not a 100 percent answer out there about this, but at my presentation they mentioned that they are MOVING towards students staying at whatever campus for the 4 years
Really? I was under the impression that it was already finished. Alright, thanks for the info.
I think the building will for sure be finished by the time students start school (late July early August?). Maybe it's done now but they just haven't figured out the division/logistics aspects of it since RN, PA, and Pharm students will also be using the building (I think?). Either way, I don't expect us to be able to tour the campus on 4/23.

for everyone asking about the phoenix campus building, there's a construction cam that shows the live status of the building, which shows the exterior (mostly?) done but the interior not. also a video of the progression of the building progress over the last few months. pretty cool. link below.

Is it normal for your post-interview message to disappear before the acceptance decision? I am expecting a decision this Monday.
Yes, that happens to everyone. Good luck 🙂
Thanks for the reply!
Mine is gone too, good luck my friend. I commented last week to you because neither of us got a decision.

We got this!!! No matter what the result is, We must remain very proud of your achievements.
Interviewed Feb 25, A today.

Yes I believe so.
Interviewed the week of 2/15, got accepted today. First A of the cycle, so relieved and happy (conditional acceptance due to not having physiology). Sent a letter of intent very soon following my interview. I really don't know what it was about my application, but I applied to 3 jesuit schools and got interviews at 2 of them despite only having 150 hours of nonclinical volunteering.

Has anyone gotten a financial aid package from Creighton yet?

Not yet
Congrats, how were your stats, MCAT and GPA?
You will have to move fast, if they are full, beg the instructor to take one more! Some July acceptances may come from those that do not get it in.
Presuming you don't need the lab.

I was actually recommended that class by Ryan. That is the one I’m planning on taking, signing up today. I emailed UCSD earlier and they said they have a lot of slots for that class so I’m hoping there is space
edit: just signed up, looks like there is still space if anybody else is looking to sign up as well

This is a great class! I took it online last year

There doesn't appear to be a list with specific program/specialty info yet, but this article pretty much summarizes their match results!

For those of you who paid a deposit and then withdrew acceptance—how long did it take to get your $100 deposit back? was it just refunded to your card?
Withdrew my acceptance today! I hope it goes to someone down the line.
In the email they sent back they said it would be refunded in about three weeks and sent to my house (so I’m assuming a check).
The Financial Aid awards for incoming M1 students should be going out in the next week. Creighton has awarded all the scholarships for incoming students at this time. At Creighton, the majority of the scholarships are awarded to third and fourth year medical students.
