What kind of merit based aid? Did not think much was available and most accepted are the best if the best so how would they distinguish?
Stay engaged updates let them know if accepted you will attend. Acceptance to matriculation rate is a key metric.

Nothing beats the atlas for location, convenience and amenities. It is pricey so if on a budget get a two bedroom instead of a one bedroom to save $6k a year. In a month they will open up a Facebook page where you can look for a suitable roommate. Last look early summer you could even meet them out there. Try to avoid court yard level as people outside windows is just creepy. Atlas right across street from cardiac center where you will have class. You will not need a car, but if you have one there is cheap out door parking.
It was the Medical Dean's scholarship.
Congrats on this tremendous award and accomplishment! While all those interviewed support the Jesuit Catholics' mission of serving others. In particular those least able to help themselves and most in need. Your proven, demonstrated commitment to this population must have been truly exceptional to get an endowed scholarship. When you are a physician those you serve will be most fortunate indeed.

If my "thank you for interviewing" message is still present, is it likely I won't hear a decision this Monday? (I interviewed end of February)
Decision has probably been made. Updates and LOIs are probably better for afterward.
Less likely decision has been made.
Midday.

Does anyone know anything about Creighton's deferral policy, if an accepted student for some reason needs to defer their acceptance for a year? Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know the odds of being pulled off the WL here?
Seem relatively high just based off movement last year and in MSAR. But you never know 🙁

Anyone have any info about April Second Look Day? Schedule, dress code, bringing parent/SO, etc.? Anyone who attended an earlier Second Look Day want to share their experience?
The Admitted Student Day started with a few addresses by the dean, student support, fin aid, Q&A, etc. Then a campus tour (wear comfy shoes) and the day culminated in a social hour (free booze!). SOs/parents were welcome. Some people brought both parents and that seemed acceptable.
It was overall fun

I just formally withdrew my spot from the alternate list, as I have other options! I hope this helps with some movement for all of you deserving applicants. Best of luck everyone! (I received the alternate position today, II 3/2.)

Did you feel like it was helpful or changed your opinion of the school in any way? I’m not sure if I should try to go (will take a lot for me to swing it at work)
Oddly enough, it honestly just reaffirmed my initial thoughts on the school. The things I really loved about Creighton were highlighted (service, really caring administrators, happy students, etc) but so were the things I didn't like (religious aspects not suiting me as an atheist, lack of robust research, minimal diversity, etc). The visit to Omaha really helped alleviate my fears that the city was too small and rural (coming from a really big city) and Omaha was surprisingly very nice.

Did anyone receive the financial offer? I got accepted very early and submitted my FAFSA, but haven't heard anything about my financial package.....Also, anyone experienced issues login into their NEST system? It changed to a Microsoft page for some reason and my user name is no longer valid.....

I emailed financial aid about having not heard anything and they said they were still in the process of finalizing their CoA for the year. They said financial aid would be sent shortly after finalizing the CoA

Email or call the admissions office. I had problems creating an account after being admitted and they said they had just switched to a new system. They referred me to the IT line and they were super helpful and quick to fix the issue.

Nope, I am accepted the first day but still heard nothing
The vast majority of financial aid is in the form of student loans. Very, very little institutional aid money is offered to a couple students. Your loan package will be about $90k a year. At orientation the military comes and speaks about how they will pay costs if you serve as an official as a doctor for a period of time, there were about 3 students that signed.

I just emailed and here's the email reply from admissions office:
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to change the date for the Admitted Student Day in Phoenix. We are still finalizing a date"

Has anyone else uploaded an update letter/letter of intent? It says that it should show a "last updated date in green" next to the section where you uploaded it after 10 minutes, but I submitted one yesterday and it still doesn't show anything listed.

Did you submit it as a pdf?

Ooh no actually I submitted it as a word doc. But it does specifically mention that is an accepted means of submission. I could retry with a pdf though instead.

PDF should work better! Same thing happened to me with a word doc
Anyone know if this school is still sending out anymore scholarship packages or only financial aid offers at this point?
wait, have you gotten your financial aid package?
Not for Creighton

Also curious about this if anyone knows. Wonder if we will see some WL movement this week after 4/15 as well

Candidates matriculate off the wait list up to the day before classes commence. No r"s to waitlist candidates. First cut down to 3 schools for those incredibly lucky enough to have multiple acceptances drives movement on mid tier schools' waitlist. Final decision day down to 1 drives more movement for those giving up second choice seats. If candidates are set with a first choice acceptance they give up seats in second choice schools earlier than forced to as a classy move. The waiting stinks for those with i's but no a's. But part of process. To even get a waitlist is a huge accomplishment and still in the game.

Just got my financial aid package as well—will be withdrawing from the Phoenix campus! Hoping to free up some spots for those on the WL 🙂
You have to fill out FAFSA to get an aid package
