I'm confused, my application was sent to the review board and said I would hear back in 90 days. Then, one of my professors added a letter of rec for another program to AACOM and my application got kicked back to the "your application is being verified for all necessary...". Has anyone else experienced this?

 

[ThanksForLettingMeIn95]

ACCEPTED TODAY! 😀 It took about two weeks from when I submitted my kira assessment.

 

[MDMD22]

First year at DMU and a Des Moines native here! If you guys have any questions about curriculum, what it's like being online, the Des Moines area, loans, or anything else please feel free to reach out. I think there are a few other current students following this thread that would love to answer your questions 🙂 Good luck with the application process and congrats to those that have received acceptances!

P.S. everyone's journey to medical school is different, don't be discouraged if things are taking a little longer for you!

ACCEPTED TODAY! Woop woop! Took roughly 2.5 weeks to hear back after the group Zoom session.

 

[PremedMagician]

Which zoom session were you in?

Friday, Sept. 4th!

 

[Mountain_minute]

Both super excited and nervous that the turn around for decisions seems to be so quick after Kira/Zoom! Have my zoom Monday *eek* Congrats everyone on the Acceptances!!!

 

[2021Hope]

Has anyone been accepted without an MCAT score? I had my zoom group interview this morning and was scared to ask lol

You can't be accepted without an MCAT score. DMU is not requiring the MCAT for interview, but they require it for final admission decision. So no, no one has or can be accepted without an MCAT. They can receive interviews though.

Really? They require a deposit that quickly? Of how much?

2k lololol. So if I can get a response from DMU, at the very least a known R, it'll be better.

Sorry to butt in your conversation but I thought their deadline was in December for the deposit lol

Wow, that's so quick! Best of luck with everything!

I believe @voppp means his deposit for a different school. Not DMU

Ah I see. My apologies. This explains my CARS score very well lol

 

[deleted988803]

@lng209 It seems like my school doesn't follow AACOMAS guidelines like DMU does lol. @kool-pre-med thanks! I'd like to stay in Iowa but it is what it is.

congrats mate, you deserve it. Do you mind if I ask you for stats and complete date?

 

[deleted988803]

Lol I just got an email from them about the info session

 

[let-me-take-my-mcat]

Lol I just got an email from them about the info session

I think you'll hear back one week from your info session, so if you can hold off on the other school's deposit w/o losing the seat there, I think you'll have a quick turnaround from DMU.

 

[Wuzgoodbruv]

Can someone tell me the Kira Talent Assessment is like? Im planning on taking mine Monday and I am super nervous 🙁

I’m not holding my breath lol. I plan to commit on Monday so we’ll see.

 

[eggsntoast]

Were there no zoom group interviews this week? I took my KIRA on Monday, but I never received a link or anything to schedule the Zoom meeting. Would anyone be able to confirm? Thank you 🙂

There is one today at 12, which I am doing, but that was the only one this week I believe. I would say just be patient at this point. It took them close to a week to send my invitation as well. You are still in a good place, don't worry yet

Due to the nondisclosure we all signed, we can't tell you much about it unfortunately. It wasn't super high stress though. Just try to remain calm. Easier said than done though, I know.

Got it! Thank you so much!

Today is a week since my group session and two weeks since KIRA, here's to me nervously refreshing my email until I get a decision

[future.doc29]

Anybody from the 9/3 group session still waiting on a decision?

 

[StitchIsAHufflepuff]

Anybody from the 9/3 group session still waiting on a decision?

Yes...I haven't heard back at all. I did get a postcard last week from the students that were at the info session saying it was nice to meet me...

 

[blooo]

II last night! got the complete email 8/13

Try the practice ones to get a feel for the format! Very low stress, it’ll be over before you know it.

Okay thats what I figured I just wasn't sure. Thank you!!

 

[tigermom666]

Just got a II! Pretty weirded out by this Kira Assessment thing and the general format of the interview. Does anyone have any insights on this?

 

[tigermom666]

I’m not holding my breath lol. I plan to commit on Monday so we’ll see.

Wow, that is so uncool!! But also CONGRATS!! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get accepted?

I got into Touro NV! DMU said they're aware of my timeline and so is the adcoms but they won't be able to make a decision until after the 1st, so I'm gonna wait till next Fri probably

DMU said they won't release decisions until after October 1?

 

[deleted988803]

DMU said they won't release decisions until after October 1?

No, my info session is on 10/1/20 and after that, there's up to 3 weeks before the decision. Unfortunately, I do not have that long to wait.

 

[Wuzgoodbruv]

How difficult is it to get an interview at this university. I got one last week and was curious

 

[blooo]

sorry if this has been asked before, but once you submit the "NDA", they say Kira will reach out within a week. Once Kira reaches out, do they just give you a date or do you get to choose? and how far in advance were the dates for you all? just trying to make sure i can get off work

Once Kira sends you the link to assessment, you can do the KIRA Talent interview anytime on your own schedule within a week of receiving it. It's the group zoom meeting that you get an assigned time for.
