How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, practiced with a friend, researched online, Creighton's website (very helpful -- tells you how they think), reviewed my app

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything; everyone was so friendly, and the staff/admissions people were great. My host and the other interviewees were wonderful, and I made some new friends.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital is across the freeway from campus. Also, Creighton is in a so-so part of town. And Omaha is cold!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing; I pretty much read everything on here.

What are your general comments?

Wonderful interview; very low-stress. Basically, they just want you to relax and be yourself. I love the Jesuit approach to education, and Creighton is the embodiment of the Jesuit ideal.
