Hi everyone, I'm confused about the interview - is the virtual Kira MMI our only real interview? Or does the virtual session contain a talk interview as well?

The virtual session has a group activity that as far as I was aware was being watched by adcoms. Not sure why we would need to do that if not for the admissions decision. Maybe they use it to pull people off the waitlist 🤷‍♂️

Both are part of the interview process. The virtual Kira MMI is meant to replace the direct question and answer part of the traditional interview. It's a bit awkward, but if you practice recording yourself and imagine you are responding to an actual person, you will eventually get the hang of it. The group activity is to see how you interact with other people while discussing an assigned topic. It is low key, and in my humble opinion way less stressful than the virtual one because you are getting some feedback from the other participants. Just remember to be respectful of other people's opnions even if you disagree, while not shying away from voicing your thoughts on the subject. The good news is, if you made it to the interview part at Wake, you have a pretty decent shot at getting in. Try to relax and enjoy the process. Easier said than done, I know! Best of luck!!
