You should email them. But it’s probably cus more people are interviewing so the slots are being taken.

Is it okay if one completes their Kira assessment after more than a week? It says to complete it within a week but I was hoping to complete a little bit after that.

I would just do it within the week to avoid any complications.

Anybody felt okay with their Kira after taking it but then slowly feel worse about it as the days pass lol
 
Anyone have any experience with DMU’s interview process, and would like to share? I have an interview coming up and could use any tips! TIA
 
do we get our post interview decision after the group interview? or could we get it before then
 
What was the Kira assessment like? Is there a way to study for it?

I don't think so. I believe it expires after that week. I really wouldn't push this back without knowing, especially when they give you a 1 week deadline.

Got my preview score today. I got a 4.

I also had the chance to visit the school and the city. I had an interview at another school and decided to do a loop around several of the schools I’m applying to check out the cities. Des Moines is a solid city. The school is small.
It’s essentially a graduate school with 2-3 buildings. The inside nice though.

Hi y’all, the email for the group session today said 12pm CST but nobody is currently on central standard time, they’re on daylight time. Was wondering if this was a mistake or what.

Yeah but we currently aren’t on standard time, we are on daylight time. Pacific daylight time, central daylight time, etc. The email says 12pm CST but it would currently be CDT. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something we needed to account for.

What is the format of the zoom session? Is it like the Interviewer ask a question and everyone in the group has to share their thoughts? or they share about college and course details?

Can someone shed some light on the group interview? Do they just give us an opportunity to ask questions or?

Since its only an hour long and most of its Q and A I doubt it can be anything more than briefly giving an introduction about yourself but that's just speculation and I hope other people can shed insight

Go to the first post in this thread and click on the link "Interview Feedback"
Scroll down to specific comments by past students who interviewed.
In each category, like "what do you wish you had known" you will see a few answers, then keep hitting that button that says "show more responses" Clicking it several times will reveal more and more.

The Kira Assessment is the interview. The group experience is just to get to know the faculty and students."

Pretty high from what I see (541 out of 666 =>81%). Looks like they hand pick the students they really want for II.

Hello, I have a question I have signed up for the group interview and unable to see the day I have signed up for or the time and I have not had any email sent with the time of the group interview either ?
 
Hey everyone. How long after completing Kira did you get your information session invite? I took Kira almost a week ago and have yet to receive it.

So I added this school last week through AACOMAS and it says action required under the portal. However, when clicking this, it says not received and that DMU will be verifying receipt of all requirements. Does anyone know how long this process takes?
 
I added this school late July and my app was completed 8/2. How long does it take to potentially get a Kira invite? I haven’t heard of anything since
