How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read their strategic plan on the Creighton website--super helpful and I scored some bonus points with my faculty interviewer.

What impressed you positively?

(1)how happy everyone was, (2) how integral student feedback is to the adminstrations decision-making process, (3) the M2 partner program--those M2's do A LOT for the M1's to get them through that first year. When I was there the M2's were working for 4 hours in the cadaver lab to set up a mock practical for the M1's in prep for their final this week.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing that was in Creighton's control, i.e., the weather was bad. I had a great time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wasn't thinking when I scheduled my interview. It was during finals week, so a lot of the students didn't have much time to socialize.

What are your general comments?

(1) introduction by asst dean (super funny guy), (2) free bagels/donuts and coffee while you wait for interview time--students come down to talk as well, (3) interview with faculty, (4) walk to hospital and interview with student, (5) catered lunch (Chinese food for us!), (6)hospital tour, (7) back to med ed center for financial aid talk and diversity talk, (8) closing remarks by asst dean (next steps--again super funny)
