How long did it take them to send your interview date/time after completing kira? I did my kira yesterday and my presentation day is on thursday but I'm waiting to hear back about my one-on-one date.

I say i got my one-on-one interview date a week before the date it’s scheduled! I would say you’ll get it two days before your presentation date!

Be yourself! If they give you clinical scenario questions, don't panic if you don't know how to answer it perfectly. Answer to your best ability and then let them know that maybe something is out of your scope as of now. I was asked why I wanted to pursue dentistry and then had a conversation about my other interests besides dentistry.

hii i applied around october but haven't heard anything back since after that. even for kira.. also when i checked on my aadsas, it said "application complete" when other schools said "under review." does this mean something? also for people who got kira or interview, did the status change to under review?

they wont give you a Kira until they send you an interview invite. They interview pretty late so theres definitely still a chance.

 

[dentalstudent2001]

For anyone who interviewed on Tuesday last week (Jan 28), do you know when this week we should expect to hear back?

Hi everyone, I just got the presentation day invitation last Friday, and I am so nervous about Kira. Does the actual Kira have the same time limit as the practice? It’s so stressful to finish everything in 1 minute.

yes Kira is pretty quickly! I would recommend just keep doing the practice questions, you’ll do great!

I also received the continued interest email today. I applied in January.

 

[toothlover4]

wondering the same!

 

[deleted1158615]

Continued interest email is a good sign for a possible interview down there road in a few weeks or a month. With that in mind, some people do end up hearing nothing after it.

 

[macsak]

i would go with "it's not a bad sign"...

 

[deleted1158615]
