✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read Creighton's website, read my secondary essay.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, enthusiasm of the student body, Omaha was a little cooler than I had expected (I thought it was going to be a complete hellhole).

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities weren't quite as good as some other private schools I have seen, but they were still much better than most state schools I have seen.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That 30+ people would be interviewing on the same day.

What are your general comments?

It seemed like a waste of time to fly out to Omaha (I'm from the East Coast) only to recite what I had written on my AMCAS application. The interview was way too short and the rest of the day was way too long. They gave too many "talks" in that room that was hotter than hell because it was so packed with people.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
