What impressed you positively?

Open file, the interviewers really knew my background and asked very specific questions that pertain to who I am as a person. Easy and laid back vibes.

What impressed you negatively?

I had to schedule the 2 interviews separately with a large hours gap in between. Wish it was back-to-back so I can get on with the rest of the day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Creighton really chooses people based on mission fit. They was a lot more emphasis on their missions & values, humanities and ethics, than I thought.

What are your general comments?

Great experience, Creighton became one of my top choices after interviewing and touring the school. I appreciate their open file review of applicants as it helped both parties feel for whether it was a good fit.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I really liked when the school sent out preview videos to watch, explaining the curriculum + financial aids + etc., prior to the interview. It gave better insights as to what the school + school life is like.
