I can't find online if they like MD applicants who might be interested in research.
i thought it said somewhere they want students who want to practice medicine and no research.

Please let me know
maybe someone here know this.
thanks

Somehow, I find it difficult to believe that research will hurt your application...

You've gotta ask yourself, if this is a school that looks down on biomedical research, is it a place you want to study?

I dont think any school is down on research. That would be kind of dumb. Creighton stresses strong clinical medicine.......in other words, research isnt huge here but it does exist if you are interested. We do huge research in osteoporosis and hereditary cancer. There are a few medical students each year who do research here over the summer but there isn't a ton. I did research for my M.S. before applying to medical school.....I'm sure it didn't hurt my app. to Creighton or anywhere else.

What are the extra requirements at Creighton? Do they prefer the conservative applicants? What I'm saying is what type of personality do they go for.

I'm currently an undergrad at Creighton. It's a Jesuit school, and Jesuits = relatively liberal in the religious world. That said, I don't think you should try to fit your personality to what the school wants. Be yourself.
