Also interested if people receiving their aid package got it because they filled out FAFSA... because I have not filled it out yet. Also, what website would you see your financial aid package on?

I think if you haven't filled out FAFSA you might be kinda screwed - most schools have a deadline of March 1 to fill it out

I’ve found they don’t enforce the deadline too closely for medical schools as much as they did for undergrad

Oh my, I somehow dropped the ball on that... Can anyone tell me the first steps in completing this? Like do I just go to the general FAFSA website?

Yes, just go to the FAFSA website and fill out the form. For the school to send it to, the school code is on Creighton’s med school financial aid website
 
Has anyone who's accepted but on the campus change waitlist to Phoenix been moved yet? Does anyone know when they typically start moving people?

I called them last week about this and they said they anticipate finalizing this by early May…staying hopeful too
 
Has anyone else not gotten their award letter after submitting their fafsa awhile ago?

May I ask why you switched from Phoenix to Omaha? I feel like most people would do the opposite of that.

Mostly just location preference. Really want to live in the Midwest, not much desire to live in a city like Phoenix. I realize I'm probably in the minority with that opinion though.

Can you mind explaining why you prefer the Midwest over Phoenix? I would love to hear your viewpoints, as I also am confused as which campus to decide. I initially thought Phoenix would be better, but I recently visited and was not a big fan of the city itself.

Yeah I've just never liked big cities. Too many people, traffic is horrible, and COL is dreadful compared to places like the Midwest. I can rent a home with a nice yard for a cheaper price than renting a one bedroom apartment in a city like Phoenix. I grew up in a smaller town and really want to end up in a rural area, so Nebraska felt like a better fit for me and my family. Oh yeah and Phoenix is wayyy too hot. I much prefer the cold weather with snow over blazing hot to the point that you can't even go outside.

i think the heat alone would deter me away, its like 100F+ for too many months
 
Anyone also on the alt list know when we may hear about getting the potential A after some WL movement?

I just got off the waitlist for another school, so I will be withdrawing my acceptance from the Phoenix campus. What are the steps to do so?

Congrats on the A!! I sent a short message to the admissions email and they replied later that day.

anyone see any portal changes or heard of any As today?

I was wondering the same thing. The email they sent out on the 2nd said they would start accepting ppl off the alternate list today but then later in that same email made it sound like they would not.
