Congratulations!! I see that you say you were verified on 6/25…just out of curiosity, did you receive an email from the school expressly stating your application was complete on 6/25, or are you saying that’s when you were verified by AADSAS? I received an email from the school saying they received my application, and payment, but I never received an email stating my file was “complete”. Just wondering, because my portal still shows my high school transcript is marked missing but, in an email from the school, it said to ignore that message.

CONGRATS! Does Detroit mercy no longer do Kira Assessments?
 
do they use kira to select people to interview, or do they send kira to everyone they interview, thank you
 
Will they look at my application? I had a SGPA under 3.0 and cum 3.4. But went and did a master's and have a 3.9.

Yes, I think they do fair holistic reviews. I had low undergrad GPAs too, but I did a master's and got a 3.9 as well, and got invited to an interview. Just give it some time 🙂)) You got it!!!

how do you guys know your "Application complete date" for Detroit Mercy? My ADEA ADSAS status still shows Received/Under Review. I submitted my application on July 11 and paid the supplemental fee, but I never got a ‘complete’ email from them like I did with other schools.
