How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed secondary application, reviewed Creighton's website, brushed up on "canned" answers by speaking them out loud

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so friendly. They make sure you feel welcome and the other applicants were very nice as well. Not a cut throat environment. Also had great facilities for the students.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost of Creighton is enormous and they don't offer a lot of options for financial aid outside of loans or enlisting in the military. Also, the day was ridiculously long. You really do go from 830am-4pm if not longer! Last, the interviewers don't have a lot of time to get to know you and didn't ask a lot of questions you would probably like to be asked (i.e. specifically about your research, more experiences you've had). It's pretty limited and I felt like I wasn't asked enough questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew ahead of time that we would be doing some walking, but we did A LOT of walking and my feet hurt badly!

What are your general comments?

It was very positive. Both interviewers, faculty member and med student, were concerned with who we were and just trying to get a feel for our personalities. I was impressed with the school as a whole.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
