Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but does anyone know if you can get one of your rec letter writers to write the professional character reference? Not sure if that's considered "double dipping" or something? I'm submitting a committee letter by the way if that makes any difference.

Omg I'm so glad someone else is in the same predicament!! I asked this on reddit too and seems like no one knows... I'm gonna ask somebody from my school who goes there now to see what they did and I'll update you

So turns out it wasn't a requirement two years ago so it's something new they added? Current student says they don't remember having to get a professional character reference outside of the committee letter they prefer

Im sure it’s a low priority consideration after so many other factors

For those of you who have done Kira, what did you think of it? Do they ask basic dental interview questions? I know Stony Brook has real interviews, so I'm a little confused about what this Kira is for and what kind of questions they would ask us....?

Kira is just another way for schools to flush out applicants before sending out interviews.

I can’t speak for what questions are specifically on there bc I’m done with the app process and don’t go to SB, but you can look up kira questions online ti get an idea. It’s like an interview, so I’d just prep for it like that. They use these types of formats because unlike studying for an exam or doing well in a class, these Kira and Casper tests you can’t truly study for them, so it’s a test to see how you think on your feet and to get an idea of your personality and the way you think things through when asked a question.

If you’ve ever been interviewed for a job, it’s kinda like that from what I’ve been told, just more of a one sided conversation with them asking the question and you videoing your answer.
 
Has anyone that applied in July received Kira invite yet?
 
I just want to note for future applicants here that Stony Brook was my first Kira invite and of the four Kira assessments I have done it is still my favorite. The Kira assessment by Stony Brook was stream-lined and concise. It also helped that I got to see a video of a member of the SBU community asking me the question instead of me having to read a block of text.
 
Does every applicant get a Kira invite? Or is Kira a selective process in and of itself?

Was it pretty similar in terms of questions to NYU/Indiana (if you did either)? Situational/behavioral questions?

When did you do your Kira? Was it similar to most schools' Kiras?
 
I just noticed that the interview tracker says Stony Brook interviews are virtual. I only had the option for in person.

thank you, the admission just contacted last Friday regarding shown incomplete prerequisite on my application. I contacted aadsas and was confirmed everything was verified. I think there is discrepancies in my application. However I submitted my biochem grade to the admission. Hopefully I will get Kira in two week from now.
 
Congrats to those who have been accepted to Stony Brook SDM! 🙂 Here's a FB group students who have put down their deposit can join! Log into Facebook

If the link doesn't take you there, look up "Stony Brook Dental Medicine 2028"

Congrats again!
 
stony brook is a new york public school whereas rutgers is a new jersey public school. they also have two separate admission committees. even if those two people got an interview from one does not mean they get an interview from the other.
