What are your general comments?
It was extremely pleasant. Obviously I was nervous considering that I had never been to Omaha or Creighton. The staff did everything conceivable to make us feel relaxed. They really treated me like a pharmacist in training....very professional and organized. THE BOTTOM LINE IS I GOT ACCEPTED!!! I got accepted into a few schools, but Creighton was, by far, the most professional during the interview process, not to mention the fact that their pharmacy program has been around over 100 yrs. and is attached to a major medical facility along with several other health professional schools...medicine, dentistry, nursing...

Studied Creighton's pharmacy website closely. Spent considerable time analyzing Jesuit values and philosophy. Reviewed my application closely.

Absolultely nothing.....It was EXTREMELY cold when I arrived in Omaha the night before my interview. The wind chill was right at or just below zero. I had just left 80-degree weather earlier that day.
