I didn’t feel great about my KIRA either, but it seems like that’s the case for most people. I just tried not to think about it once it was done because it’s just one part of my app. I’m sure that there are many other strong parts of your app that you’re not giving yourself credit for so just keep your head up you never know what’ll happen. Best of luck

congrats! when did you do your kira?
 
GOD IS GREAT! GOD IS GOOD! Keep your hopes up everybody! After literally giving up on USC because of my HORRIBLE Kira experience, I finally got an email for an interview invite. I pray everybody gets a chance to interview and prove themselves beyond their application stats! Keeping you all in my prayers 🙂

YAY congratulations!! When did you complete your Kira if you dont mind me asking?
 
do you guys think there will be more pre December invites? Last year I think they only had dates in September/October?

there will likely be lots more invites
look at the "interviewed" (class of 2024) stats at the first post in this thread and compare to the other schools
USC traditionally offers amongst the most interviews of any school in the country...
 
how soon after getting application confirmation did people receive a kira invite? thanks!
 
Hey! im a reapplicant and I was wondering if everyone is getting the KIRA this year or is it still selective like last year? I was blessed to get an interview with USC last year but remained on the "waitlist".

Same boat got a Kira for 9/5 submitted end of july. From what i saw its still selective
 
Hi! Have all the Kira invited been sent or are they still rolling out? Has anyone else that applied late July received their KIRA?

it's only the middle of september
USC has invites into march-april almost every year...
 
how do you prepare for a KIRA interview? I'm assuming its not the basic interview questions so I'm not quite sure what to prep

Hi, congrats! When you called admissions to schedule your interview date, did you get an email confirmation that day? They said an email would come closer to the interview date but I’m paranoid about it not being confirmed in the system right away
