2024-2025 Creighton

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those who interviewed here already, they said during the Friday session that they like updates. Does anyone remember the preferred format for the update document they shared? Also, do y'all think they want us to give updates on all of the activities we're continuing? or just key highlights

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,

Would it be beneficial to send this type of update if I have not had an interview, or only for II recipients? I was complete on 8/2.

Thank you, this is very helpful!

I think this is meant primarily for post-II for now, although they are a generally update-friendly school. During the interview, they gave us the date that our group would be sent to committee for review, and strongly recommended we send a general update on our activities before then so that it would be included in their final evaluation of our app.
 
Any real prep needed for the friday Q/A session or things to know ahead of time? Or just show up with some potential questions in mind
Potential questions is just about it! Was relatively low stress, lots of opportunities for questions.
 
I just went to the secondary portal to upload my update letter and I noticed that the "thank you for interviewing" message is gone. I interviewed on 9/26. Is it gone for anyone else?

Mine is still there. Are you sure you clicked on “status”
 
My interview is next week and I am already getting anxious about it. For those who have already interviewed, was practicing with the SDN questions prepare you well enough? Did you use any other resources to prepare?

did anyone else who already interviewed have the thank you for interviewing message disappear from their portal? not too sure if that means something

Mine has too, and I think someone further back in the thread as well! Looking at last year's thread, it may mean that they've made a decision on your app.

What trend did you notice with last year’s thread? Does it mean a potential A?
 
Does anyone else who interviewed week of 9/16 still have the thank you message?
 
Just checked my portal and the thank you message is gone :0

Edit: Interviewed during the week of 9/16

I interviewed that week and still have mine. I'm a bit confused because I thought they said we'd hear back on the 15th.
 
my portal still says thank you for interviewing. anyone else?
 
congrats! Do you know what day you’re thinking you were interviewing message disappeared?
I would say around 2-3 weeks after my interview! I didn’t check it regularly though so I’m not 100% sure
 
Did anyone else not get their campus designation? I updated it after the interview from Omaha -> Phoenix but got assigned to Omaha.
 
Does anyone remember the dates for admitted student day?

I switched from Omaha to Phoenix after my interview too. However I haven't heard back yet. Will update you when I do

Since we're so early in the cycle, I bet you could reach out to them and see if there's anything they can do! Did you switch campuses within the timeframe they wanted? And did they confirm receipt?

I reached out and it seems they just forgot to update it in the system. Got it changed 🙂
