You are a saint as per SDN standards.
Are you applying for MSTP or MD only?

Congrats! Great holiday weekend gift. Doesn’t look like they are going in order. Not sure how to interpret that.

It is normal for people here to check their emails at least once for every 30 mins while they are awake. For 24 hours, you didn't check your email during these times. What do you do? Just meditate for IIs to manifest?

Does anyone have any recommendations how to prepare for the Kira Talent interview? I am not sure what to expect.
See their page with specific details here: The Interview: What to Expect - Medical Student Admissions
Ignore their reference to "AAMC VITA" which is no longer in action

It was very reminiscent of a Casper-style setup; a couple of scenario-based questions for which you get time to ponder and then a couple of minutes to respond. The Kira website also has 3-4 orientation/practice questions so you get a pretty straightforward idea of what the process is, looks like, feels like, etc. N=1 it was very chill and took about 20-25 minutes.
OOS II, complete 07/02.
Were you able to schedule your interview? If so, how?
Yes I was! I just had to wait like 3 days and then dates appeared in the portal

+1 OOS II complete 7/16 !
i don’t see any available interview dates all the way through December?
i contacted them and they just told me to wait “it might be because the servers are overloaded” but they didn’t give me a real answer so i’m a little frustrated as I don’t think that’s the reason for no open dates since everything is loading perfectly fine …

it took like 3 days for dates to appear for me so I would say just wait and you can reach out to them next week if you still don't see dates

everything submitted for washu, but i haven't gotten an app is ready greenlight on the portal yet. i heard it's due to LOR. i only submitted about a week ago, though tbf, but usually how long is the turnaround time for this?
Hi, same thing happened to me. Turnaround was 11 days for me (submitted Aug 8, complete Aug 19). I believe it is a manual process where they check your LOR but dont quote me on that

yea i heard something similar, like they manually check off LOR. anyway eh its fine, I don't think WashU is as anal as schools like NYU about submission at this time

It was largely similar to Casper-style. Any interview prep in that vein is fine. It was not a big deal, but comes down to some degree to how comfortable you are with responding to that style of question. Having taken Casper a few months ago I didn't do any special prep for this one; went fine
What do you mean by schools like NYU and submission? Like NYU cares about how soon you submitted secondaries after you received the application?
NYU sent over a third of their interviews in one single wave in July, so early submission very much matters for them. Some schools care a LOT about early submission.

No. They meant the early complete date has huge advantage. Not the duration between receiving date and submission date of your secondary.
I appreciate the kind words! 🫶
Any insights on what other schools have a particular emphasis on this? I know early is generally better but I wasn't really aware that there were certain schools where it has a particularly huge advantage
Is anyone else still facing difficulties with scheduling an interview date?
