how does it work with campus placement? in the interview are they already interviewing us for a certain campus? or do we pick later on?

Per their info session, the committee is blind to your campus preference when they make decisions on who to admit. When you are admitted, you are admitted to the campus in which you indicated preference for. Since they started the 4-year campus in Phoenix, they've had ~5 students admitted from the alternate list who did not get their campus preference.
 
anyone know how long adcom will be out of office for the holidays?
 
can anyone who's interviewed so far speak on the level fo difficulty/vibe of the interview?

My faculty interviewer was very kind and personable. It is super low stress. Same for the student interviewer
 
I had a great experience with my student interviewer. It was a great conversation and pretty relaxed. That wasn’t the case with my faculty interview unfortunately. I’m not convinced the person even read my application. I got zero questions on anything from my application or about me personally. Only asked me questions for 10 minutes and I had to fill the next 15 minutes with my own questions.

Same for me. Student interview was great but faculty interviewer seemed kinda disinterested.
 
My faculty interviewer was incredibly warm and really easy to hold a conversation with -- seemed like she just wanted to get to know me. Student interviewer was also very kind but not as interested, seemed like she had a list of questions to get through and not a lot of time for conversation.

Faculty interviewer was very clear that she had read my application thoroughly, student interviewer didn't seem very familiar with my experiences at all.
 
Personally my interview experience at Creighton was one of the best experiences I had this whole cycle. The faculty interviewer was so warm and friendly. They took the time to really get to know me through conversation. The student interview was also very nice and welcoming.

Wow, that does sound crazy. But I still think you can get the A!

They may have been doing a try not to smile challenge... and it sounds like they won 😆. No but in all seriousness, I wouldn't be too worried about it. As long as you feel like you spoke to why you fit the mission of Creighton, you will most likely be fine!!! I wish you best in getting that A!
 
Have any people who interviewed the week of 11/17/23 heard back?
 
I realized there is a place to upload it. What format or how is the best way to talk about new activities. I didn't realize there is a different section for each type of new update. If I have two new clinical activities should I put it in the same PDF?

Congrats! How far out are they scheduling if you don't mind my asking?

They did have several dates in January almost every week day soonest was 1/8 and since I already scheduled I can’t go back now to see how far out there are openings without calling admissions I am sorry!
 
Does anyone remember when they hold committee meetings? I think it was Thursdays but I'm unsure. Just wanted to make sure of the timing for my update letter.

It is Thursdays but I am unsure if they are still on break. I interviewed the week of 11/17 and attended the 11/17 info session and have had no change to my status. Did you also interview that week?

I interviewed 11/30 and was told the committee would likely meet on Thursdays 1/11 or 1/18 for us. Chances are they might meet for you next week on 1/4. Decisions will be sent on Monday.

I also had a question on this- can a second update override the first update? I realized I made a mistake after I uploaded my update :'(

Probably a dumb question but is accepting scholarship funds binding?

I don't believe so. Scholarship money will typically be paid to your school to defray tuition expenses and if you don't end up going there, the money is not given to you and might be re-awarded to someone else.
 
Anyone have any advice for the interviews? Do you know your interviewers names beforehand?
