Does anyone know what Creighton's process is for selecting alternates is? I already had an interview in Feb. Do they have a ranking system? How many people do they generally pull from the alternate list each year (assuming you have already interviewed)? Thanks!

I wasn't offered an interview but I am also in the alternate pool. When I talked to an admissions counselor, she told me that the distance alternate pool doesn't usually move a lot (~3 people) but they usually use a lot of alternates for the campus pathway. Good luck!

I was originally a campus program alternate following my interview. A month or so later I was informed that a spot was open for me and I accepted. I have never regretted the decision to come to Creighton.

If I understand correctly, the alternates are ranked and then offered spots when they become available if accepted students decide to attend other schools. I hate to say that if are an alternate without being given an interview it's probably unlikely you'll get in.

Hey gll8889, when did you interview last year? Early, like Jan/Feb or later~ April?
