How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor/interview feedback, looked at Creighton's website and reviewed the school's strategic plan from 2001 that laid out the school's goals for the next five years

What impressed you positively?

The overall feeling I got from administrators, faculty, and students made me feel so comfortable and at home. Everyone was very nice and honest about the school's purpose and some of its shortcomings.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, I was very impressed all around, though the only downside was the length of the interview day. I arrived at 7:45 for the 8:30 start and didn't leave until 4:45 (I was dropped off early by my student host due to his test).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I fell in love with Creighton from the moment my interview day started. Dr. Nipper and everyone involved with Creighton made the long day very enjoyable. Both interviewers made it a point to keep the interview conversational and low-stress. Creighton isn't big into research, so the school puts a premium on teaching its students to become great clinicians. Omaha was a great city that has enough to do to keep you busy, but not enough to distract you. My student host was great, as were all of the other students that I met. Overall, it was a great experience and a great school.
