Have you taken kira already? any suggestions

Yes, I have. They had really thoughtful questions and nothing you can necessarily prepare for as they seemed pretty random. I would suggest being comfortable talking on camera, while also seeing yourself. Do as many practice questions until you feel comfortable and just be yourself!

Like why do you want to be a dentist? Or questions referring to your application?

More like situational, like what would you do when placed in a certain scenarios.

[singingdentist44]

I got the email for the supplemental fee 9/20, paid the fee 9/22, received the interview invite 10/21. So about a month!

just be relaxed and don’t over think.

 

[alaska_chamaco]

Out of curiosity, what made UNE stand out for you guys?

I really liked the small class size and size of Portland. Their pass/fail system sounds awesome too. Also, I’ve heard that they’re clinically very strong since they don’t have any specialties.

 

[dongykc]

just be relaxed and don’t over think.

haha I will try not to. Thanks

[predentkid17]

I got one! I’ll be there this weekend!

 

[Dental2027]

I got one! I’ll be there this weekend!

OOS?

 

[Dental2027]

Are they sending out calls on December 15th?

 

[DMDJane2027]

Are they sending out calls on December 15th?

When I asked admissions, they told me they have so many applicants to sift through that it may take up to a month and a half after D-day to hear back. So maybe you'll hear Dec. 15th, maybe you'll hear in January, etc. I think it just depends, unfortunately :/

 

[alaska_chamaco]

OOS?

Yeah, I’m OOS.

 

[pickaychu]

i’m a current D1 at UNE so if anyone has questions feel free to message me! best of luck on 12/15!

 

[OncePreDent]

Yes I am!

For those of you that went to the session this weekend what did you all think? I wasn't able to make it, unfortunately. Thanks!

 

[OncePreDent]

I got one! I’ll be there this weekend!

How was UNE?! What did you think about the culture at the school?

 

[alaska_chamaco]

How was UNE?! What did you think about the culture at the school?

I had a great experience at the open house! It seemed like the student body had a great relationship with staff. Their clinical experience is crazy. I met students who have placed multiple implants and done up to 10 molar endos. As far as the school culture goes I felt like the students there all got along really well. I think the pass/fail system is really conducive to student collaboration.

 

[predentalstudent2001]

I know someone mentioned this earlier, but I just wanted to double check. Does UNE notify everybody on 12/15 regardless of status? Or is it more likely to come in waves? Thanks!

 

[singingdentist44]

Does anyone who has taken or needs to take anatomy know what the easiest online course to fill the requirement is??

 

[alaska_chamaco]

I know someone mentioned this earlier, but I just wanted to double check. Does UNE notify everybody on 12/15 regardless of status? Or is it more likely to come in waves? Thanks!

From the way they talked about it at the open house it seemed like they’ll come in waves.
