Did anyone feel like they bombed the Kira interview? I was wondering if there's any current student who didn't do well on the interview but still got in.

I have a pretty good DAT (23AA -- QR: 24, GC: 24, OC: 26, BIO: 24, RC: 19, PAT: 22) score and supplement essays, and okay GPA (sGPA: 3.58, overall GPA 3.59), along with 200+ shadowing hours, but I absolutely did not do well on the interview.

Although I'm a US citizen, English is my second language, so I got extra nervous with the Kira system (it was worse IMO because I had to talk to the camera while directly seeing that the time is ticking -- towards the end, I didn't know what I was saying so my answers became extra disorganized by then).. I wanted to go to UNE but now I'm losing hope.

Yes! I feel like mine didn't go as well as I wanted it to. It was my first dental school interview too so I was definitely really nervous. Fingers crossed for decisions on Dec 1, but I trust that I'll end up where I need to be.
 
Current D1 here, just be honest, genuine, have fun and be yourself guys. Good luck 👍🏻🍀

Guys, got an interview this morning. Went to check in using the Kira link sent in the email and it's not allowing me access...is anyone else having the same problem?

I emailed Kira support, apparently this has been an issue for them. Wondering if anyone else has encountered this?
