Is it silly to follow up and ask for an update (pre-II)? I know they say 90 days but I don't know if it is better to be patient or more assertive in this circumstance. I'm at exactly 2.5 months and going a bit crazy here!! :)

My 90 days started 10/13, so I feel you. 🙃

I wouldn't worry I got ii like basically 120 days after or
 
Does DMU send emails periodically about being placed on pre-II hold? I've gotten like 2 emails, (3-4 months apart from each other) since I've applied about how I'm on hold and that they'll continue to review my application. Wondering if I should just give up hope at this point.

Has anyone done the Kira Talent assessment? If so, what tips could you give to do well on this? Also, would I be expected to wear a suit for this assessment?

Do the practice questions that they give you when you check in! Very helpful to get comfortable with the format.

had my info session this week! staff felt very welcoming, but it's only an hour so we definitely didn't get all of our questions answered.

Practice, look at the camera, watch your practice runs, improve from there, & wear professional attire bc that's the interview.
 
How long does it usually take to hear back after The Kira Talent Assessment?
 
got placed on post-II alternate list today. info session was 12/17

Do we schedule our own info session using that website they gave us or do they email a link once they’ve reviewed the Kira?
 
I received an acceptance text a few hours ago. It said that e-mail confirmation will follow but I haven’t received anything yet, and I’m worried that the text might be a cruel joke. Anyone else receive a text?

Don't worry, the text is legit. You'll probably receive an e-mail later in the day.

Anyone know when they start taking people off hold?
 
After receiving the Kira assessment and the group interview? is there an individual interview? Also how do you prep for the group interview?

The Kira is the interview for this school. The group session is more of a Q and A, but still, dress and act professionally. There is no separate interview besides these

How long after completing Kira did you get the session info? I competed Kira 1/19 and still haven’t heard back
