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)

 

[FutureDoc1014]

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 🙁
