I think it was a minute and a half to think about your response, then a minute exactly to answer on video.

Thank you for this. Stressing about how to make a good answer within a minute especially with ethics questions.

Hello. Anyone know how much time we have to respond to the interview recording questions?

I remember mine as 2 min prep time then 1 min response

Just got the virtual engagement day invite, completed interview 10/12!

 

[isabelle12970]

if we completed the interview on 10/1 and still haven't gotten a virtual engagement invite should we email them? has anyone emailed them inquiring yet?

I would say never email requesting an invite to something. if youre gunna get it, you will.

They're probably releasing in small batches so hold tight - it's gonna come sooner or later!

Nice! What dates were available to you? 11/22?

Also for everyone else, I interviewed back in 9/30 and still haven't received the invite

I only saw 12/20. I don't know if others could speak to this, but I think I saw someone on last year's thread who got accepted before attending the info session, so not sure if there's that much correlation. Hang in there!

 

[WarmDonuts001]

Agh, just got waitlisted today :[

Do you guys know if it is okay to take notes during the prep time for the kira assessment? I can't find anything saying you cannot but nothing explicitly saying i can either

You can do whatever you want during the prep time, but you might want to just practice what you're going to say out loud during that time and then fix whatever you need to for when it's actually recording.

II 10/3, virtual engagement invite 10/31, still haven't heard anything😕

Same here :/ you’re not alone buddy

 

[maha2398]

Anyone know when the big wave of A's was last year?

 

[MikeTrout27]

Is the virtual engagement day an email we hopefully get or something we sign up for? That part was a bit confusing for me at the end of Kira

 

[blissfulboots]

Anyone know when the big wave of A's was last year?

I am pretty sure it was this week last year!

 

[Ryexphos]

i wanna get in so bad

FYI

CUSM delivers an objective applicant review with Reviewer Services - Kira Talent Admissions Resources

After the 2023 affirmative action ruling, CUSM turned to Kira's Reviewer Services to help make informed and efficient admissions decisions.

[Deggroll]

Idk, CUSM's interview felt cheap to me. Kira is a great platform though. UCR's use of Kira was amazing, making the whole interview process smooth and REAL. But CUSM making it asynchronous made the whole thing feel fake which definitely hurt my interview.

Not only that but the time limit was so so short. I felt like I spoke three sentences and all of a sudden I'd see I had 30 seconds left 😭 and my heart would drop as I tried getting in everything I wanted to say..

 

[ocpremed58]

[yurikatsuki]

IS II this morning! Complete 7/22

 

[JebronLames]

Has anyone else here interviewed in mid-October and still not received any virtual engagement invite?
