Prompts?
Some schools take a while to process. Just give it a while.
How did you submit so fast! Aren't some of the questions different from last years?
I prewrote. 1 question I had to redo and another question my essay still fit so I just changed the wording a little bit.
I believe they are really similar. May come down to where you want to live/what patient population you want to work with
That's interesting. I have not gotten to completing Creighton's secondary. Imagine they read your materials and want to invite you to interview but can't until you pay the fee 💀
if I liked creighton I would embrace the neuroticism and submit immediately but I just dont have those feelings for them
yea really odd they are calling you but could be good? I don't think it was automated.
Use a browser other than Chrome. I had the same problem.
Solved the problem
Thanks for being willing to answer questions!! I have a few general ones...Hi everyone! I'm an M3 at the Omaha campus and I would be happy to answer any questions that y'all may have (if you have a personal question, then feel free to DM me, and if you have a general question, please tag me in a public comment so that everyone can see the question and answer). I'm also happy to briefly review secondary essays if I have time, but just a heads up, right now I'm on my Otolaryngology rotation and soon I'll be on my Vascular Surgery rotation (both are M3 electives that you can take), so my free time is rather limited throughout the upcoming month and I may not be able to give quick responses to DMs
Also, I'd highly recommend following the @cusomadmissions Instagram account; they post weekly student takeovers that personally were helpful to me when I was a premed and wanted to learn more about what it's like to be a student at this school (on that note, watching a few of the archived takeovers may be helpful with your "why Creighton?" essay).
1) The other school that I got accepted into was Saint Louis, so I ended up with the choice of going to the Catholic school in the Midwest, or the Catholic school in the Midwest 😂. So the factor that made me choose Creighton is that I just got better vibes from its medical community, and in my experience as a student, I can honestly say that I think the school does a great job of accepting students with agreeable personalities -- everyone here is very down-to-earth and my peers have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Furthermore, the attendings and residents that I've encountered so far are also excellent, and don't fit the stereotypical mold of old-school medicine whose physicians PIMP you until your eyes bleed out.

Thanks so much for the awesome info!!!1) The other school that I got accepted into was Saint Louis, so I ended up with the choice of going to the Catholic school in the Midwest, or the Catholic school in the Midwest 😂.

2) Overall, I like it and I would consider staying here for residency. There are certainly factors about it that I don't like (mainly I think this city has the worst drivers on the face of this earth, and I also dislike the humidity), but there are also a good number of fun things to do on the weekend, and if nothing else, this city has a fantastic restaurant and bar scene. OH and also, the cost of living is very reasonable for a city this size.

Favorite:
i) this past week that I just had on my otolaryngology rotation has been hands-down the best academic experience that I've had at this school. I'm really vibing with this specialty, and I'm very confident that I'll end up wanting to pursue a surgical residency <3
ii) as a Catholic, I love that this is a Catholic school and there are many cool/unique opportunities that flow from that (i.e, getting to take Catholic medical electives during your M1/M2 years, having Catholic student interest groups on campus, etc.)
Least favorite:
i) there were 3 blocks during our preclinical years that I didn't enjoy, not because they were poorly taught or anything like that, but rather because I disliked the subject matter themselves. But other than that, I can't really say that I have much to complain about
that's odd for me it gave me the same issue but I was on chrome. Switching browsers and paying again made it work
Thanks paying again made it work
Beyond the volunteer opportunities that are posted on the website, many (possibly most) of my classmates volunteer at organizations that aren't affiliated with Creighton. Omaha is sufficiently big and diverse enough that you can volunteer for pretty much any cause/population that you want. Also, one thing to be aware of is that our student government has two service chairman/chairwoman positions whose job is to find out about service opportunities and let everyone know about it. The two service chairs for my class usually send out a monthly email about organizations who are looking for more volunteers. Below is a screenshot (with some info redacted) of a spreadsheet that they sent out just to give you an idea of what the service chairs do for us:hi! thanks for doing this
can u describe some of the service opportunities that are available beyond what’s on the website? i am curious about the different ways i could engage w the community there

I am also experiencing this and have tried it on chrome, safari, and firefox. Did you ever figure it out?
I have in my notes from when I completed the secondary that there is no difference in admissions standards, but I don’t have a source so someone please double check me
Was on the waitlist for them last cycle, there's around 120 seats if I remember correctly. Also admissions is blind to your campus choice, so no, not necessarily more or less competitive
I don't get that. Idk, maybe clear your browser cookies/cache or something?
Basically just a bit of editing since the character count is much shorter for these. So like literally the description of what it is and what I did
thank you! I ended up doing that, just getting straight to the point.
The 1st is a sunday lol. Where did you hear this?
