In same boat, LM 68.5 and was complete 06/25 no II...
 
Has anyone done a Kira assessment/interview before? Is it similar to preview/casper?

Did you get an application complete email? Cause DMU doesn't send a secondary cause their questions are in the primary application

Not yet. The only email I have received was to initialize a DMU account. I have since completed everything I can, my LORs, full application and transcripts are marked received. Have not heard anything since.

Yeah you don't need to do a secondary cause they don't have those. Only thing I can maybe think of is preview exam but I don't think you need that to be complete cause it's only recommended. Might be worth emailing/calling just to make sure you're complete

Just sent an email out. I have both Casper and Preview completed, been stuck for a month but I thought everyone was so I did not think to reach out.

It's possible you could have been complete this whole time tho too, just didn't get an email for whatever reason confirming

When did you receive the "application complete" email if you don't mind me asking?
Click to expand...
I honestly don't remember seeing (and can't find) a confirmation email regarding my application being completed. I did receive an email inviting me to activate my DMU account June 13th. I didn't hear anything past that until they invited to interview 7/25
 
Has anyone who has already taken the Kira assessment received an email regarding the group interactive portion yet?

I haven't, but I emailed admissions to ask about dates/times for the interactive part
 
Does anyone think it matters if we choose virtual or in-person interviews?? I feel like this is a tricky debate with some schools
 
The interview is virtual through that video tool. From what I've read the "in person or virtual" Q&A is to learn more about the school and talk to admin and other students. So in person or virtual should not matter.

Yes, I completed my Kira assessment 7/28 and received an email to select my interactive event date today, 7/30
 
OOS II 7/24 LM 75

How is the Kira interview process? Is it more "Why DMU" style or situation-based questions?

The Kira assessment isn't crazy, standard asynchronous interview stuff. Both the video and written response times are pretty generous, I think it was 2 and 5 minutes respectively. Wear a button up and look over some practice questions before and you're good.

thanks for sharing this info!
 
I did the interview today, does anyone know when we get a link/time/date for the group session?
 
Does anyone know if the group session is guaranteed to everyone who does the Kira assessment? I completed it yesterday but feel very bad about my performance on it

Yes it is guaranteed, speaking of the group session, I just signed up and only 2 dates were available, both in September. Kind of strange to hold it over a month out from the Kira assessment
 
I thought they were very selective with who gets the group session II. I hope I don't have to go all the way out there just to get waitlisted or rejected because of my performance on Kira.

I interviewed yesterday and haven't seen anything about the group session yet. Is the group session guaranteed or do they screen the interview part first?
