How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, re-read secondary and AMCAS, creighton website. They also have a very good med student-run website (the link is sent with info about the hosting program)

What impressed you positively?

almost everything! everyone from students to faculty and staff seemed really happy to be there. great facilities, student resources, and faculty relationships

What impressed you negatively?

the lack of research, but just b/c i'm an MD/PhD applicant. They focus A LOT on clinical training and produce great practicing physicians though

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how much walking is really involved! girls, avoid heels at all costs (mine were only 2in and i was still dying)

What are your general comments?

Absolutely great! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The students seemed really happy to be enrolled there. The interview is completely relaxed and low-stress. But don't kick back either, make sure to impress...I think a few of my other applicants relaxed a little too much and made a negative impression. Also, their admission department seems to be closely knit, so be nice and sociable to EVERYONE...I'm pretty sure their feedback matters

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
