A strong and consistent record of volunteer service to disadvantaged populations. Creighton's own applicant-selection document calls that record 'essential' and its essays ask directly how the applicant embodies being 'Women and Men for and with Others', which makes service the load-bearing factor rather than a differentiator. Only ~15% in-state, so this is a national applicant pool selected on mission alignment.
Watch out: Service that is thin, one-off, or unconnected to disadvantaged populations is the central weakness here, because the school states the requirement explicitly and asks the applicant to write about it.
