I believe it’s about 50% if I remember correctly from the interview day presentation
 
From my understanding, interviews are conducted from September to March. Has anyone been invited for a November or December interview yet?

For those of you who were accepted already - did you guys send an update/LOI right after your interview? If so, how did you structure yours?
I literally submitted primary 10/20, secondary 10/22 and was complete the day of so I lowkey do not have that much to update 🙁
 
If you don’t mind, when did you submit your secondary for Creighton? And are you in-state or OOS? I’m in-state and am now wondering if I’m ever going to be interviewed.
Yeah I submitted primary on 10/14 and secondary 10/22 🫡 also OOS ORM from Ca. I have no idea why they got back to me so quickly
 
Guys I am absolutely tweaking please offer interview advice for Creighton 😭😭😭
lmao honestly it was super chill. They really seemed to just want to get to know you. They have a handful of required questions that they ask, but it they are literally just normal interview questions "Tell me about a time where X happened, why do you want to be a doctor, tell us about your service, etc." Don't fret, just be your awesome self 🙂
 
Is it advised to send update letter/LOI right after the interview? Or wait a few days then send it?
For the people that interviewed already are interview questions on SDN sufficient?
 
wait so are people who interviewed 10/7 expected to hear back tomorrow? and for those that did interview the week of 10/7 - have you had your thank you message disappear?

They tell you during your interview the timeline on sending any updates to your application! During my interview, they gave us the date the committee would meet and told us to send updates at least a few days before that to ensure the committee would see it when reviewing your app.

I interviewed earlier this month and wasn’t able to hear all of the info session unfortunately due to connection issues :/ Does anyone know what the formatting is for the update they requested? And when they said deadline is?

I couldn’t make out if it’s a list of activities + hours or more like paragraph style. Any help would be really appreciated!!

If I remember correctly, they suggested that we give updates on all of the activities we are continuing. When I did it, I added in my clinical job, research I am still doing, and volunteer positions I still do.
The format (I think they suggested you do it this way but I am not 100% sure) I used went like this:


Name
AMCAS ID

Brief description about what activity I am talking about (volunteering, clinical experience, etc.) and my role, responsibilities, etc.

Number of hours I have completed since submitting

Thank you,

Helpful response from @CheeesyBoi here 🙂 Deadline varies based on your committee review date, so I'm not entirely sure - I sent my update within a few days of my interview.

Actually found my old notes, too! They want the organization, relevant dates, hours per week (completed and projected), your contact, and then a reflection on the activity and your role.
 
If we interviewed 10/7 is it too late to send updates? I waited until I got my new job offer to submit updates but since decisions are made this Thurs for us I'm worried it's too late:/ also did everyone submit a letter of intent?
