Just got secondary information from Creighton today via e-mail...I'll post the e-mail since I know a lot of you are applying and wondering what in the hell is going on in Nebraska (I'm a Nebraska resident but attend school in Texas).

Here's the e-mail I received.

We are pleased to acknowledge the receipt of your AMCAS application for
admission to Creighton University School of Medicine. You will note that
our secondary application is web-based this year, but we know that it is
simple and short. Please complete the application as soon as possible so
that the Committee on Admissions can expeditiously evaluate your
completed application.

For access to our Supplementary Application for Fall 2002, please visit
the Medical Admissions web site at http://medicine.creighton.edu/medschool/Admissions and follow the links
to the Secondary Application.

You will receive an acknowledgment letter via U.S. Postal Service within
the next few days. Included with your letter will be additional
instructions and information on the application process at Creighton
University School of Medicine.

This year, in particular, because the admissions year is beginning a
little later than usual, we will rely heavily upon electronic mail for
communication with you. Last year, we tested email invitations to
interview and communications, and were very satisfied with the speed,
efficiency and accuracy of email. Therefore, you will receive only two
pieces of written correspondence from our office this application year.
Your acknowledgment letter, which is soon to come, and the final
disposition of your application. All other correspondence between now
and your final disposition will be done via email.

Two things are extremely critical about the use of email: (1) it is
very important to check your email often, preferably daily and (2) our
files must reflect any address, telephone, and email address changes at
all times throughout the application process.

The following are special circumstances, which should be read
carefully. Act upon only those which apply to you.

If you have answered "yes" to the question 'Do you consider yourself a
Disadvantaged Applicant?' on your AMCAS application, the Committee would
like you to be aware of the following policies:
1. The Committee on Admissions has not defined the term 'disadvantaged'
as it applies to admission to Creighton University School of Medicine.
2. The Committee does not require supporting documentation of applicants
who consider themselves disadvantaged.
3. Committee members will consider your statement (if you choose to
submit one when your completed application is evaluated.)
4. Lack of a statement will not detract from your application.
If you wish to submit a statement concerning your answer, please make
sure that your name and AMCAS ID Number appear on the statement and send
it, via email or US Postal Service, to our office. You may attach other
information that you wish the Committee on Admissions to review
concerning this issue. Please be as brief and concise as possible.

If you have previously matriculated at another School of Medicine,
please note that it is the policy of the Committee on Admissions for the
Creighton University School of Medicine to consider such applications
only when accompanied by a letter of eligibility to re-enroll at your
previous School of Medicine. In order for your application to be
processed by the Committee, please submit this verification to our
office.

The Committee will not hold final review of applicants who have taken
the August MCAT until those scores are received. Please notify this
office if you do not plan to include this test score in your final
application review. On that note, it is not the policy of the Committee
on Admissions for the Creighton University School of Medicine to
consider for admission to the freshman class any applicant who has not
presented MCAT scores from examination taken within three years of the
class in which the applicant is requesting to matriculate. Therefore,
it will not be possible for any applicant to proceed who has not
submitted MCAT scores.

How many seats will be open at the School of Medicine this year? The
good news for applicants is that 110 seats are open! During the past
two years, this was not the case as the students under the Guaranteed
Admission Program occupied about half of the class. No Longer! This
year, only 8 seats are filled under the Guarantee, leaving 110 seats
open at this point.

We hope that the above information will encourage you to proceed with
your application to the Creighton University School of Medicine. If you
have additional questions or inquires regarding the status of your
application, please contact us through our web site
(http://medicine.creighton.edu/medschool/admissions/forms/status.htm) or
via email at [email protected].

Best wishes for a successful year, and thanks for considering Creighton
as your medical school.

Sincerely,
Henry C. Nipper, Ph.D.
Assistant Dean for Admissions
Associate Professor, Pathology

let me try...I just read the e-mail and was like cool they sent me something and then I checked the other 20 messages I got. I'll be back in a few.
 
I get blank screen too. Maybe that's what the postal letter is all about.
 
I'm glad you got a blank screen too...it's reassuring. I sent them an e-mail 20 minutes ago, so hopefully they can fix it tomorrow.
