Hi Guys!
I'm from the east coast and I've recently been invited for an interview at Creighton out in Nebraska. I applied there thinking it was fairly well known and it seemed to have the same philosophy as mine with regards to medicine (though one big difference of philosophy is that I'm not religious at all and they're apparently Jesuit-- oops ). The thing is that I've been accepted to a school closer to home: Temple. Everyone I talk to seems to think that Temple is so much better for me (ie closer to home so I could monetarily mooch off the 'rents to save on costs, it has better patient exposure in the city, and they seem to think that it's much more known reputation-wise as well-- though that could be because Temple is a local school etc). My question for you is whether or not you think that the interview at Creighton will be worth it anymore (factoring in the cost of flying out there etc). How would you guys compare these two schools? I've interviewed at three other schools with one more coming up in March, not to mention tons of schools I haven't even heard from, so it's not as though I'd be rejecting my one other interview either way. I'm just so confused!!! Help!
