Thoughts on sending an interest letter pre-II? I was WL there last year, addressed their biggest concern with my application, and I went to a Jesuit undergrad so I feel like I would be a good fit.

They take them! I packaged one in with an update!

Accepted! Interviewed late January. Fast decision turnaround time, much appreciated 😃
Did your portal change and your acceptance was posted at the same time? Or Did your portal change a day or so earlier?

Where do you send a general LOI? They have multiple spots to upload letters under different categories.
I didn't really brand it strictly as an LOI. My recommendation would be to think of an update, and just to package it in with that. They're also super helpful if you call them!

Pretty sure it goes portal change to thanks for interviewing and then a couple days later u get the decision has been made and then the email

Hi! Sorry, but can you clarify please. So did you not send an actual Letter of Interest then? You mean you sent in an update, let's say in the Nonclinical Volunteering tab, and sprinkled in how you are very interested in the school?

Yep, that's it. Ultimately it came out to be about 50-50 interest-update, but yeah.

got ii last week, does someone know what is post-ii A rate OOS?
 
Do any current medical students know if PA students take classes with Med students? I know some schools allow it.
 
So nervous for decisions tomorrow. The thank you for interviewing message disappeared from my portal a few days ago, so I think it’s coming. I’d love to go to Creighton!

Interview today. How long usually it takes get the decision?

They told us at my interview that we should send updates if we have significant ECs. I've about doubled my overall EC strength since May. Should I send an update letter or a full-on LoI?

I would highly recommend giving an update post interview. Even if it’s just saying that you are continuing to do the things you already listed on your app. If Creighton is your #1 school then you could also dress it up as a LOInterest/intent
 
does anyone know if they're allowing accepted students to tour campus?

Sorry if this been asked, but are both the student and faculty Interviews open-file? The sdn page is like 1/3 saying closed-file but I saw somewhere b4 on here that it was open-file.

I'm sure it is open file. At least this time. My interview details email said two open file interviews so it is.

M1 and M2 years are pass/fail! There is an "honors" category for the top 10% of students in each block but people don't make too big of a deal about it.


Our first couple block exams were in-house written questions with most resembling NBME style. The block we are current in will have a final exam that is solely composed of previous NBME questions. I've heard that they will do this with several different blocks to ensure students are on the right track with studying. Creighton re-vamped their curriculum last year so there is still a lot of changes happening with course content and exams.
