If you got an II they send the Kira assessment which you then do register for.

It’s so early! It’s not even august yet. You’ll be just fine.

 

[DOcSto]

Treat Kira as you would any other interview. Dress professional.

Anything you can share about the zoom interview/group session?

 

[wontonamobae]

GL to all applying!

Had a question about the supplemental question in the primary, specifically about application improvement since my first cycle. Is it for us to discuss about how we've grown as an individual or more to state stat improvements (which I would assume they'd see), additional hours in whatever activity (or new ones). Or both?

 

[scaredpremedgui]

Does anyone know if the group session is still treated as an interview or more of a casual opportunity to get to know the school and other interview invitees?

Again, treat it as part of the interview, dress professional. This will basically just be an hour long Q&A. Last year there was a faculty member that answered questions for the first half hour and a couple students that answered questions for the second half hour. You DO NOT need to ask a question if you don’t have one. It is an opportunity for you to learn more about the school and has to be completed before your file will be forwarded to the admissions committee for review. Don’t stress over it!

pretty relaxed Kira!! i enjoyed it (FYI just make sure your alarm doesnt go off in the middle the first question like mine did. hopefully it aint a deal breaker)

I think you'll likely be okay. Looking forward to the group zoom session.

 

[Kirby101101]

I also did Kira and also don't think it wasn't too bad looking forward to seeing some of you guys at the info session! Does anyone know when we find out more info about that?

Next day

 

[Doctoscope]

Just completed Kira. I feel like I overestimated how much time I have, and for some of the responses it felt like I was rushing at the end and not really closing off my responses well. Other than that, it felt welcoming and wasn't too stressful. Anyone else feel that way?

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

How many questions? Do they read the questions or make you read? How much time do you have for thinking before starting response? How much time do you have for response?

Just look up Kira assessment. We’re not allowed to disclose that information.

Hi all! I just added DMU to my list. I just activated my account. Is there anything else that I have to do besides wait for them to confirm of my application?

 

[Doctoscope]

Just gotta wait, nothing for you to do until told to do so by them.

[DogZug]

Does anyone know what DMU emphasizes?

 

[medschool98]

I feel like I didn't do well on my Kira because it was my first interview and I didn't feel that I practiced enough since we only had a week.... but hey hopefully the pity me and let me in!
