Does anyone have anything other than “sent” as the status for their letter of recommendations?
Also, has anyone without a car registration heard of any alternatives? I read that you can have a “statement in lieu of the documentation” but that “a statement does not guarantee that the requirement will be waived.” Worried about that.

What exactly do you mean without a car registration

 

[Cowsrcool]

I don’t have a car registered under my name.

I meant what do you need that documentation for? Lol is that part of the application

 

[KTMC]

It's probably for verifying Utah residency or something along those lines I'm assuming.

Utah Residency | Admissions

Review the details on this page to apply for residency and learn more about the different residency exceptions, requirements, and frequently asked questions.

www.usu.edu

Here's this website, but I think they probably mean this part I highlighted

 

[M_T_S]

How fast do we think the class will fill up after they send out and review Kira talent videos? I have one recommender who already sent in the LOR, but the other one is being slow to respond (they generally are, but they're also reliable with sending LORs).

 

[Shelea Caroeaetogae]

I don’t have a car registered under my name.

Could you maybe send whoever deals with residency issues at USU an email and see if they will accept a bill/invoice, mail, federal or state tax income, or anything else with your address instead?

Who knows. But they haven’t sent out the Kira videos yet anyway. So it’s just a waiting game right now. I think less than a week after they have received all our applications materials

 

[Shelea Caroeaetogae]

I just need to confirm with someone else to ease the anxiety (lol), but when your portal says "This application requires your attention for one or more items." and the only thing that is left is for the recommenders to send their LORs, this is what it is referring to right? I've completed my supplemental and turned in all unofficial transcripts, so it doesn't look like there's anything else for me personally to do at this time. Does that sound correct?

That’s what mine said until my rec letters were submitted. Then the message goes away

After LOR are recieved "sent" changes to "completed"

 

[Cats4Lyfe]

When did the application open?

 

[wild_mustang123]

When did the application open?

March 25

 

[M_T_S]

No Kira yet? Or is it because one of my recommenders still hasn't submitted the LOR yet?

 

[asu12u4]

No Kira yet? Or is it because one of my recommenders still hasn't submitted the LOR yet?

Not yet but you need your LOR submitted before they will send it.

 

[purrlywhites]

Received my Kira on Friday, so I have a week from then to complete it

 

[bingbong123]

Received my Kira on Friday, so I have a week from then to complete it

When did you complete your app (like have everything submitted)

 

[brynnapeddy]

Has anyone else received Kira yet?

 

[purrlywhites]

When did you complete your app (like have everything submitted)

March 27

 

[KTMC]

Has anyone else received Kira yet?

Yeah, has anyone else received it yet? I finished my application on the 27th as well and still haven't gotten my link.

 

[HebBrig]

Yeah, has anyone else received it yet? I finished my application on the 27th as well and still haven't gotten my link.

Not here yet. Probably Monday if they sent some on Friday.

 

[Shelea Caroeaetogae]

Haven't received anything yet but also my last LOR went in 3/31 so my app was completed on the 31st, so not expecting anything till next week. I was really hoping for this week though since I'm going on an international trip on Wed but it just sounds like I'll be bringing my professional clothing lol

 

[slauja]

My last LOR was finally submitted today… getting worried about being “late.”

yeahhh....I'm still waiting on my last LOR. don't want that $55 to be for nothing

 

[Cowsrcool]

I didn’t even bother applying bc my LOR writers basically told me they’d need time to adjust my letters (I’ve since been published and had some other stuff for them to add to my ****) and they were like we won’t have enough time blah blah. Sucks but I assumed I’d have little shot w do little oos seats anyway. Best of luck to everyone!!

 

[Cats4Lyfe]

I was entering my experiences today and it looks like the application maxes out at 30. I have quite a few more. I sent an email to Ryan, but I assume he won't answer until tomorrow. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Congrats on being published, but sorry it’s thrown a monkey wrench into this application for you!

Yeah I was bummed to have to stop entering but luckily put my most important/most recent ones first. Didn't email them about it. Had many more and the hours were still low on a couple even though they upped the limit too.

I just started copying them over from VMCAS and unfortunately, I started with my earliest experiences first. I have like 20 more to add. I am hoping I can just email over a copy of the experiences from ym VMCAS application. It is annoying though because I would like to move on to teh supplemental.

I’m not sure you will be able to email anything. I would delete your oldest and least relevant experiences and make sure your most important and valuable ones are there

 

[KTMC]

March 27

What time did they send your Kira Talent link out?

 

[purrlywhites]

What time did they send your Kira Talent link out?

7:28am
A couple days before they sent it to me, I also asked about it bc my application was saying incomplete somewhere and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything

 

[Cats4Lyfe]

I’m not sure you will be able to email anything. I would delete your oldest and least relevant experiences and make sure your most important and valuable ones are there

They told me to email the rest

 

[M_T_S]

My LOR is having trouble finding the place to submit the letter. I emailed and called to try to troubleshoot, but no one answered the call or email yet. I know everyone here are probably prospective students, but any idea how your recommenders submitted the letter. Was it through a portal or just a link on an email?

I believe that they get a link through the portal in a email when we add them in as recommenders. This is just an educated guess though

After you submit the initial application, the supplemental has a portion to enter recommenders. It sends them a link.

 

[tkburris]

Received my Kira on Friday, so I have a week from then to complete it

How long after your application was complete did they send your Kira link? Did you have to reach out to admissions before they sent the link to you?

 

[Cats4Lyfe]

Is the supplemental the last portion of the application prior to the Kira? I am waiting on one LOR still

 

[purrlywhites]

How long after your application was complete did they send your Kira link? Did you have to reach out to admissions before they sent the link to you?

I got my last thing, my LOR, submitted on March 27, received the Kira on April 4, and reached out to them on April 1. I’m not sure if reaching out sped up the process but seems like it since nobody else is commenting about it

 

[Shelea Caroeaetogae]

I just emailed the admissions office to ask them if there's an update about the kira link or if we're all just missing something, so I'll let you all know if they say anything!

 

[Shelea Caroeaetogae]

Sooo the answer didn't reveal much...This is what was stated. They said that an application is complete and the Kira Talent links are sent out when:

• The School of Graduate Studies application is fully submitted, including letters of recommendation.
• The application has been processed by the appropriate entities.

Please keep in mind that processing times vary from application to application. We are working diligently to ensure that everything is processed as efficiently as possible.

I wonder if they sent Purrlywhites the Kira Talent link early since they had to correct the completion status and just ended up deciding to fully process the application at the same time? It would make sense since no one else has received one yet. (I had also mentioned in my previous email that it seems like only one person had received their link and that nobody else has, even those who submitted the same day, and there was no specific comment on it. Just in case anyone is curious.) What I took away from this though is that they're working on processing all applications, and I wonder if they just plan on sending out the Kira Talent links all at once?

I emailed them yesterday and they responded with saying my application is still being processed and that’s why Kira hasn’t been sent yet. The processing time takes a while so I think everyone is kinda in the same boat

 

[ella.nelson]

I think its just taking them time to go through everyone. I applied on the 26th got the Kira talent link on the 31st and submitted it on the 1st. I'm instate and my LOR submitted the letters within seconds of me inputting their info, I don't know if it matters but thats what I know.

 

[Cowsrcool]

I’m sure they received many more applications than they originally anticipated. I see the article says over 100 in the first week so I’m sure it’s just taking time for them to peel through it all

 

[puppylover03]

Anyone know when applications are due? Like the last day to submit everything to receive the Kira invite?

 

[Cowsrcool]

Ok my LOR writers just told me they could have it submitted today or tomorrow. Do we think I’m too late if I do it today?

 

[vampyrica]
