What does the distance pathway interview for Creighton include? Anyone already have one?

Members don't see this ad.

I have heard some interviews have a writing portion, which I find so strange. What kind of questions do they ask? I have never traveled alone or even more than 1-2 hours by bus or train and I am very nervous about that already so I'd like to be prepared for the interview. Thank you for any advice/information.

The purpose of the writing portion (more or less) is to convey how well you can communicate on paper. The question is almost never important but how you can express logical reasoning.

examples:

1) Should pharmacists be allowed to prescribe birth control? Why or why not?

2) Do independent pharmacies need to be mandated to provide plan B if no other pharmaceutical drug is within 100 miles of the county/district? Explain your stance.

They want to see how you can express your points from one issue to the next. Nothing more nothing less.

Oh phew. I was worried it would be some complex chemistry or about major drug reactions or something lol

If it was a majority of applicants would never see a classroom.

Although in the past I did have a few calculation / stoichiometry problems from other schools but it carried no weight with the interview (only for pre-req adjustment purposes)

There's information about the Creighton Interview process (for things besides your question above) in this thread:
