Hey all! I know it’s early in the cycle but I’m currently an MS1 at Creighton happy to answer any questions you have about the school. Feel free to PM me as well!

 

[JD 13]

Anybody else complete in July and still haven’t heard back? Not sure if this is a good or bad thing!

Right there with ya

 

[MischiefManaged13]

congrats!!! when did you interview?

I interviewed on week of 10/12!

 

[InsipidConch]

any advice from those who interviewed? i have mine coming up soon. please PM me! i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!!

I think most people agree when they say it was more conversational than anything. I literally just talked to the interviewer about my application then got asked like three list questions (healthcare, diversity, etc.) at the end lol. My student interviewer was also really nice. She asked me like 5-6 listed questions then gave me an opportunity to ask questions, but she followed up on them and didn't just go on to the next one (made it seem somewhat conversational). Both are open-file. I would recommend to be prepared to answer basic questions like name a time you had disagreed with someone, etc. PM me if you have any specific questions.

Does any admitted students know Creighton's pass no pass policy for prerequisite courses taken during the pandemic (including this semester)? I'm asking this for the final transcript. We have the option to choose pass/no pass for our classes and I'm wondering if I should take one of the required English/Writing courses pass no pass?

I have conditional accept and the document says “successfully complete additional coursework with a grade of B or higher.”

you should contact them because they are very responsive, understanding and helpful

Mine only says "completed to the satisfaction of that program and the Director of Admissions at a grade level similar to your present grade-point-average"

Accepted by portal change! Interviewed week of 10/30

Thought my faculty was a hard ass and the student didn't seem very interested. Hope this reassures some of you

That was super quick, must have very high stats!

 

[zeddd78893]

congrats on the As!!! did you guys attend a jesuit college/high school?

Yep you can pm me if you want specifics

 

[zeddd78893]

interesting. im not catholic and never went to a jesuit institution so i hope that they dont heavily select for those things. interviewing soon...

If you got an interview I wouldn't worry. I doubt they're selecting for undergraduate school post-interview

I personally do not identify with Catholicism. The only time it came up was when I mentioned how Jesuit values of service and magis (ie learning and exploring more) are universal values that all people should strive towards, regardless of religion

 

[abc123041187]

Thanks! 10/23 info session 🙂

I did not attend a jesuit school but it seemed like a lot of people in my interview did

I got an A on Oct 23rd and I did not attend a jesuit or catholic school at any point in my life.

Hi all, I recently interviewed here and although I felt that the student interview went really well, I did not feel so great about the faculty interview. I felt as though the faculty member was not interested in any answers I said that were longer than a few sentences and I got grilled on some parts of my application (my stats are slightly below the average). The faculty also brought up my lack of primary care shadowing and said that I should do some and send an update letter, though I have 600+ clinical hours from my current job. Has anyone had a similar experience/ know how much weight these interviews hold? Not feeling super great :-/

 

[cbog11]

hey sorry to hear about the faculty interview. did you have any shadowing at all?

I have 40 hours of shadowing, just none in primary care

 

[entertainerment]

For those of you who have received a decision the past few Mondays- is there a change in the text on the homepage of the portal a few days before?

the “check status” page for me was essentially wiped clean except for the upload materials section and the letters section (?) on the thursday before! the thank you/wait 4-6 weeks paragraph was gone!

I had only about 40 hours of shadowing between general surgery and then ER and got accepted with their first group. I didn't have nearly the clinical hours but its hard to compare. THey really focus on if you match their mission so if you do, theres a chance!

 

[InsipidConch]

for those accepted.. how long did it take to hear back?

 

[FallGuy1867]

for those accepted.. how long did it take to hear back?

2.5 weeks for me

 

[MischiefManaged13]

for those accepted.. how long did it take to hear back?

Almost 3 weeks exactly!

 

[InsipidConch]

my thank you for interviewing on the portal is clear! should I expect to hear something on monday?

 

[FallGuy1867]

yup!!! best of luck1!!

 

[FallGuy1867]

do u get an email if accepted or do u just have to check the portal?

showed up on my portal on a monday and i got the email on a tuesday

 

[futuremd25!]

Does anyone know if they prefer one update letter or for the updates to be uploaded in separate documents? In the portal, it seems most suggestive of uploading separate documents for each type of activity, but that would be a lot of updates. If one update letter is okay though, where would that be uploaded?

 

[Cruisingbyee]

same...I don't know how to feel. I felt good about the interviews but now I am going back into my head and looking for ways I could have messed it up.

 

[Crestacean]

Hey everyone. I interviewed the week of 10/30. The decision is on the portal! First acceptance 😀
