same here, can confirm. plus listing service activities, " Please describe your current activities/employment if you are not currently enrolled as a fulltime student. " and disclosure of IA's
 
For listing service activities, I noticed there is no character limit. How much are you guys planning to write? Would it be bad just to copy/paste from my W/A?

I was wondering the same thing, if it would be bad to just copy and paste?
 
I think I know the answer to this but I’m going to ask anyways lol. I got a speeding ticket and did the 'plead no contest do defensive driving course get it dismissed and cleared from the record' thing, but in TX speeding tickets are class c misdemeanors. Even if it is supposedly cleared from my record, do I still need to disclose it when Creighton says:
"Have you entered a plea of guilty, a plea of no contest, a plea of nolo contendere, or an Alford plea, or have you received a deferred prosecution or prayer for judgment continued, to a felony and/or misdemeanor? Please note, traffic violations are considered misdemeanors in some jurisdictions." ?
I'm 99% sure it comes up on my record as just a course completed

yes list it, they won't care and omitting it would be much worse because it will likely be on your background check later
 
the supplemental app has 6 essay question? (I heard it was 3 from another source)
 
for the first prompt, are you guys mentioning omaha vs. phoenix in it? I'm applying to the phoenix one and I'm wondering if I should mention what I like about the phoenix campus in it or just focus on general creighton stuff
 
anyone else having difficulty navigating their website for why us research? since their undergrad and grad schools all share one website, most of the info is about undergrad student life 🙁
 
for the non-medical volunteer activities, are you guys just copying and pasting from AMCAS if there's nothing else to add?

I basically did, I just took out personal stories about the people I've met/worked with, and replaced them with more descriptions of the work.
 
Is anybody else unable to see the time of their student/faculty interviews in the portal after they have scheduled them? Mine just says "Your interview is scheduled for at . All times are CST"

**This was resolved after I completed their interview agreement**

+1 OOS II, secondary submitted 7/18
 
Hi! I'm currently waiting on interview invites and starting to feel a bit anxious. I submitted everything fairly early (AMCAS primary processed 6/23, and all secondaries turned around within ~2 weeks).

I’ve noticed that some applicants with similar LM scores who submitted later are already receiving IIs, which makes me wonder if my residency might be a factor. As a Texas resident, are applicants generally less prioritized at OOS schools?

Tagging @wysdoc for insight—any perspective would be appreciated!

Private schools like Creighton are more open to OOS applicants. They will want your essays to align with their school philosophy
AMCAS schools don't usually start interview invitations in July like we do in Texas, so no reason to worry
 
is it okay to talk about lgbtq+ / queer experiences in essays to creighton, given their religious context?
 
does anyone have the link to the creighton secondary. mine is just not working
 
For those that already interviewed, how long did each interview last? I scheduled my student interview 30 minutes after my faculty interview, should this be enough time to complete the faculty interview without leaving the medical student waiting? Thanks!

Edit: nvm, interview tab says they should be about 30 minutes lol
