⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Creighton does interview visits and does not invite people for interviews, so its on you to schedule them if you want to see the school. It is however a worthwhile experience, in which you have real meeting with the dean and you get to tour the school with a student and see the clinic and ask questions. I thought it was great and would have done it again. Creighton trains awesome clinicians, and Omaha is not as bad of a town as I had thought.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How did you study for the DAT?

What was the most interesting question?

Do you see yourself practicing here in Nebraska or going back to your home state? (I guess I hadnt really thought about this at all yet, I just wanted to be accepted somewhere)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to other students, read SDN advice, practiced mock questions

What was the most difficult question?

What are some of your weaknesses?

What impressed you positively?

The clinical experience will be awesome at Creighton. There are no specialty schools, so you do everything, and will have the opportunity to do every procedure numerous times. A great place to live, and huge patient pool.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that they still have not integrated computers into the program. Most schools have some sort of laptop based program while they use paper everything. There also isnt a sim lab.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How humid Omaha is, and public transportation is almost zero.
