I wouldn't be surprised if secondaries roll out slowly since their inaugural class is starting within the next week.

 

[apd123]

Has anyone received anything from them? Confirmation of application received etc?

 

[MiniTron3]

no one has gotten a secondary yet???

 

[apd123]

I only got confirmation they received my app just this past week lol

Anyone know what the video aspect is like?

 

[pinkbowbunny]

Anyone know what the video aspect is like?

No, but I am also confused about this. The video seems more like a virtual asynchronous interview (I have heard LECOM does this) than a secondary.

 

[antsforlife]

Anyone who was accepted last cycle can give insights into the school?

 

[LelouchLamperouge]

Submitted secondary, now have to do the video part

 

[TheguythatdrivesEVs]

500 word count minimum is wierd

 

[LelouchLamperouge]

Kinda sick of writing essays

Kinda sick of writing essays

Facts, I feel you on that. I had a small break before having to send this one, so it wasn't too bad. Same with the video assessment.

 

[Saharag]

Would it be too late for me to add this school now? Thanks.

How was the video? Obviously dont tell me specifics, but did you feel it was chill? was it like casper? I just finished my secondary essays, so I'll be doing it soon

 

[LelouchLamperouge]

You have to sign a confidentiality agreement before doing the video, so I’m not sure if that holds up here, but it wasn’t bad at all.

I went ahead and applied, worst they can say is no.

 

[apd123]

How quickly after they let you guys know they received your app did the secondary invite come?

I didn't know that, thank you!

This is probably a dumb question, but should I fill this out if I haven't done anything different? Like the only thing that I have planned is shadowing, and renewing my nursing license and certifications. I have only renewed one certification so far.

 

[mustravel2016]

got email that secondary app is now complete

Unfortunately it's a required field (I think they should fix this) so I ended up having to come up with something 250 words to be able to submit.

I'd suggest focusing on this part: "information not addressed in previous questions" -- I decided to re-word a secondary question from another app that I liked that gave a fuller picture of me and my background.

 

[uglywesternblot]

anyone else still waiting on a secondary ?

 

[apd123]

I am 😭 was debating emailing them

Okay, this is great. Thank you for the input.

So I submitted my KIRA assessment today, and got email saying “you’ve completed your assessment for 2026 cycle”

But then I also got an email that says this: “
“I hope this message finds you well! We would like to provide a brief update on your application. We’ve received your secondary application. Thank you for completing it promptly.

At this time, we are missing your Kira Video Assessment.”

Not sure what to do…

They took a couple days to update my KIRA completion in the portal. It's done even if the portal doesn't say it's done because when you try to find the KIRA in the email they sent that link will take you to the website and tell you you've completed it.

how long after completing KIRA did they send you the complete email? couple of days? or did it just update in the portal?

I completed it last Wednesday so 8/6 but I got the secondary complete email yesterday so 8/11. I think the only reason it took more than a couple days was because of the weekend but I'm not completely sure. It also updated in the portal when they sent the email that my secondary was complete.

 

[amedstu]

did anyone not finish speaking during the videos??

 

[ajaxmonkey]

did anyone not finish speaking during the videos??

lol me. That’s why I hate these video interviews.

 

[Rindinky]

did anyone not finish speaking during the videos??

I did for the first one. I find it so difficult to not talk to an actual person.

 

[sonnyangel]

8/15 Got an email that my secondary is complete (Completed video portion on Tuesday)

 

[wcdoc2b]

The day after

 

[Ok-Working-9369]

I am 😭 was debating emailing them

Are you still waiting? I got confirmation they received my primary on Aug 19th and it has been a week and I haven't heard anything 🙁

I am! I emailed them and all they said was that my application was under review. 🤷🏽‍♀️

 

[lycheepeachy]
