"how there would be absolutely no food (they do give snacks and water) but no lunch time and lots of walking and talking. how really laid back it was throughout the day. That even though 5 hours does not sound like a lot, it is." More from this Member | Report Response

"The web-based pathway is not accredited yet.

What are your general comments?

"you will obviously be nervous but everyone there tries so much to make you feel comfortable. Just be yourself and enjoy the day because you really have nothing to worry about. Once you are invited to an interview, you have a pretty good chance of getting in." More from this Member | Report Response

"I chose Creighton because I was highly impressed by the faculty and staff's goal to provide a quality education for their students." More from this Member | Report Response

"The location of the school isn't the best, but that shouldn't deter you from attending this school because it has such an excellent program. Everyone is so polite and welcoming, and I knew that Creighton was my school toward the end of the interview day." More from this Member | Report Response

"I liked the school, but I do not know how I feel about the area- it was not around much- just houses and it seemed like all of the restaurants and malls were farther away." More from this Member | Report Response

"The people were interested in us and kind. The facility is new and the technology is top notch. Omaha is a midwestern town with a strong sense of its self. Overall I was very impressed with this program." More from this Member | Report Response

"Here is a general break down: You mingle in the atrium a bit with fellow interviewees. You are checked in with a packet complete with your itinerary for the day. You are given a presentation by several professors/staff on the school. You do take photos of yourself for the school. There is a tour of certain parts of the school like the class where you will take most of your lectures. There are interviews that are supposedly closed file. You are given a presentation on the interprofessional/spiritual component to the school. You are also given presentations on technology and the extracurricular/service activities offered by the school. You are also given a chance to sit in a room with a panel of pharmacy students and ask questions without the presence of faculty present. Tip, it is a long day. Be prepared to walk a lot, talk a lot, and bring something that you can eat and snack on throughout the day. We did not go outside, but bring a coat for the weather in case the weather is better for your visit and you walk outside. You don't need to bring anything in terms of paper, because they give that packet and a mini bag to you. Bring a pen to write, food, maybe even coffee and some questions to ask the students. Really unique school and will support students in transition to pharmacy school. I loved the fact that they do their best to make sure you understand all aspects of Creighton pharmacy, because you are spending 4 years there. They do treat you better and with more care than other schools." More from this Member | Report Response

"The admissions staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They gave us lots of materials to take home with us and a snack during the day." More from this Member | Report Response

"Check out the Old Market if you have a chance while visiting" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school great program" More from this Member | Report Response

"Creighton has a beautiful facility and everyone is super nice. I felt very welcomed. The only time I was stressed at all was during the actual interview, but when that finished, it was nice to relax and see what an awesome program Creighton offers." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not a stressful interview and overall the students and faculty all seem fantastic!" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a great interview, very relaxed and they really just want to get to know you and see who you really are." More from this Member | Report Response

"Both of my interviewers were faculty members. Some other interviewees were interviewed by a faculty member and a current student. I would be sure to keep the interview going. Don't go completely off track, but keep conversation flowing, try to relate questions/your comments back to each other, smile a lot, keep eye contact, use your hands a bit. Just relax! My interviewers and I kept talking 10 minutes past when we were supposed to finish. Shake hands before and after the interview...remember the basics. Have a few questions to ask them at the end." More from this Member | Report Response

"I flew in that morning and was able to get to the school in time for the afternoon interview. We all met in the atrium of the science building (Hixson-Lied I think) where the faculty and students socialized for about half an hour. They would introduce themselves and roam around the crowd. After that we were given free bags and our itinerary for the day. We all met in a conference room upstairs and the students were split up according to whatever was written on our itinerary. Some went to technology presentations, some met with a student panel, and some interviewed. Then we would rotate. That is about it. " More from this Member | Report Response

"overall, it was ok. I just hated how the interviewer kept rocking back and fourth in his chair!! and did not ask me enought Qs..I would have been done in 5minutes if i didn't ask questions. seriously if i don't currently go to creighton and know that ppl here are nice.. the interviewer would made me not go there" More from this Member | Report Response

"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... " More from this Member | Report Response

"Interviewed by a faculty member and a third year pharmacy student. Very laid back and conversational. Approximately 35 students interviewed that day. Was on campus from 12-4 pm. Received acceptance letter a week and a half later." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview experience was great! I'm glad I got to go see the school and meet the adcom. They really take care of you over there. My interviewers were also really nice. They wanted me to relax during the interview. Overall, a wonderful experience. Oh, and I just found out that I got in. They notify you two weeks after the interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"I thought the interview set up was great. I got there early and had around 25mins to mingle with profs and students before everything started. This let me be comfortable when I interviewed. After everyone checked in we had a presentation that was interesting and then the interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day follows the schedule you are given. Everybody was exceptionally friendly and helpful. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The day started out with all the students milling around the large atrium area, where admissions staff and current students were available for questions. We then had an information session about the school, the profession in general, and financial aid. Then I went on a tour that was somewhat limited due to the weather but was otherwise interesting. I then had an interview with two faculty and a 4th year student on rotation. The entire experience was about 4 hours long." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was great, they treat you like a professional from the moment you enter the door." More from this Member | Report Response

"He said they have a list of questions that they can choose from. Then he asked me about five of six questions. All of them were ones that other people had listed on this site. He was really nice and then he asked if I had any questions. His questions only took about 10 minutes for me to answer then the last 15 minutes was him answering my quesitons." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very positive experience." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviewer was an older professor, and he was challenging my desire to be a pharmacist saying its a tough job, not everyone is happy and similar comments about the profession. I was not happy to had the interview with the guy. The school and the program there sounds great though." More from this Member | Report Response

"I interviewed with Amy Wilson, a faculty members. I was very nervous but Amy was very pleasant and was not intimidating. Though I felt I could have done better, it was a learning experience. In addition to questions listed below, some questions she asked me were 4) recall sacrifices made so that you could enter pharmacy school and 5) What would you do if you were assigned a task that you did not think you were qualified to handle and why?"
