Hi everyone

 

[Laki123]

Hello

 

[Tvirtumas]

The portal updated and now says Invited to Interview but there's no email. Probably a glitch but is anyone else in the same situation?

Previous thread from 2019 says that they also saw an AADSAS change before an email. Maybe we just have to be patient for Monday!

has anyone NOT received their portal change to invited to interview? My buddy received it even though she just mailed her fee a couple days ago - not sure when they received it.

 

[ngyntu29]

My portal changed to invited to interview as well but I have not paid my application fee yet. Is this normal? Or are they just waiting for my fee to send the email.

I sent my fee in a few weeks ago and I got an email confirming that admissions received it, so I'm not sure!

 

[Colorpop]

Just mailed my application fee 2 days ago. My portal changed to invited for interview too. 😄

Did you get an email confirming that the admissions office has received the fee?

 

[Colorpop]

No I didn’t. Maybe they’ll send next week.

 

[sbax123]

I was looking through last years feed, and several people received interview invites before even submitting a supplemental fee/photo they said... so hopefully that status change on AADSAS is legit for all of us.

 

[difrancshow~]

Anyone get anything yet?

 

[shinyoctane]

Anyone get anything yet?

I got an email this morning about 10 minutes ago

For those of you who scheduled interviews, did you immediately get a confirmation email from Cvita? I scheduled mine earlier today, but still haven't received a confirmation email. I'm just wondering if I need to go schedule again or if I need to give it time to show up?

 

[toothpainreliever]

Anyone here get an interview and is still waitlisted from previous cycle?

I did get a confirmation email from Cvita about a minute or so after scheduling

 

[futuredentist000]

I am...I’m really hoping to hear good news but I think the chance is so little right now

 

[Colorpop]

Me. I’m still waitlisted at Lecom last cycle but their class started few weeks ago. I think their last cycle was closed but I never received any rejection letter from them

I get a confirmation right after scheduling my interview.

Were all the interview spots in September taken already? I couldn't register for a time in September

 

[future_dds_]

For those that mentioned that this is their second or fourth interview, which schools have your received invitations from? So far I've only received an interview from UDM and I wasn't sure if it's typical to receive an invite early August or August in general because I thought invites begin to be sent in September.

I have received interviews from University of Iowa, LECOM, MWU AZ, and now UDM. Iowa sent me my invite June 17th, LECOM sent me one early July, and MWU sent me one mid-July. I also thought that interview invites began August/September so I was shocked!

wow that's amazing! well deserved and wish you the best of luck (you got this!!). I received an email from MWU-AZ but it was to tell me I'm waitlisted for a potential interview opportunity which I didn't know was a thing so not sure if its a good sign like I'm still hopeful but not sure if it would go through.

Does anyone know if there is a "due date" for the Kira assessment?

 

[shinyoctane]

Does anyone know if there is a "due date" for the Kira assessment?

5 days after you get the email, I think

 

[shinyoctane]

I completed the Kira assessment in the initial email, and within 10 minutes of finishing, UDM sent out another email saying the link they sent was incorrect.

 

[Tvirtumas]

What type of questions and how long did it take?

 

[Colorpop]

Omg, I just received it too. Does that mean you have to do it again?

 

[shinyoctane]

What type of questions and how long did it take?

Finished in about 30 minutes. All personal questions from what I saw. I’ll take the new link this evening.

 

[shinyoctane]

Omg, I just received it too. Does that mean you have to do it again?

Yes, I called admissions and they said I had to retake it.

 

[difrancshow~]

There are two separate assessments? I’m seeing there’s a link in step 2 and one in step 3

 

[xovspink]

Finished in about 30 minutes. All personal questions from what I saw. I’ll take the new link this evening.

Was the updated interview comparable to the one from last year?

 

[shinyoctane]

Was the updated interview comparable to the one from last year?

The first one I did this morning was more personal questions, where the correct link’s questions seemed a bit harder to me. I don’t think it’s bad at all tho, just be familiar with the school.

 

[moonie11114]

anyone apply mid-end July and get an interview
