These two schools seem very similar, can anyone highlight any key differences?

One is in STL, one is in Omaha.

Only the STL zoo has elephants, and their reptile collection is better, but they both have penguins, so your luck in med school admissions should be the same.

But really, how much do you want it? Do your own research, or ask a more specific question. What differences do you care about? Do you want us to just suggest random facts? Is the difference between the cities and nightlight and atmosphere important to you? Does the difference in research matter?

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo was voted best in the world!

Every time I visit a zoo, I head straight for the reptile house.

If you do a google search, this topic has been repeated on SDN a couple times.

EDIT: Oh, is this for undergrad or med?

Google is also an important tool for med school applicants.

I wish I have that power.

Med, but yes I went for that option first. Most of those are from ~5 years ago so I decided to restart the thread.

They're both absurdly expensive, private, Jesuit schools located in the Midwest. It's really up to preference. At a glance they're exceptionally similar, other than that SLU is in St. Louis and Creighton is in Omaha. SLU matriculates a 'better' class academically and likewise probably has a better rep, but that's pretty negligible.

Personally, I'd pick SLU over Creighton, and a state school over either one.

To be fair, I'm also biased in that SLU accepted me and Creighton wouldn't interview me 😉

But really, for anything constructive, you need to ask a more specific question. There are a million things we could say, but they're pretty much irrelevant. What's most important is you're happy with your decision and you perform well wherever you go. The rest is, for the most part, inconsequential. My favorite part of SLU is how truly invested they were in the happiness of their students and friendliness of their faculty, staff, and students, I imagine that's very helpful.

Thank you very much! That was helpful 🙂

I'm going to be making the same decision you are, and I am so far thinking SLU. Their commitment to the happiness of their students is exceptional, and I love their elective opportunities. It is true Pass/Fail, and they don't start with anatomy. They start with CMB and Biochem to ease you in before throwing you into the deep end of Anatomy. They also had ten ortho matches last year and many other in competitive specialties.

The only downside is the hospital. I was not a fan, but Creighton's is about to move, so you cannot really judge theirs either right now.

I think we both just need to do a ton of research, and maybe attend a second look. I don't think SLU has one, but I think Creighton does? I could be wrong.

In that case, I can tell you Creighton is a great school. I didn't apply to SLU but I think you will have a hard time finding a Creighton student who doesn't like their school. What were your impressions on interview day?

The hospital (ie ms3/4) is arguably the most important aspect of medical school, but unfortunately the hardest to evaluate.
