Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Anyone know when applications are due? Like the last day to submit everything to receive the Kira invite?

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?

I’m just realizing now is there no place to put a personal statement??

There doesn't appear to be any type of essays or really much of an opportunity to say anything about yourself. I am curious if that will be part of the Kira or if they will contact for that info at a later date once the initial processing is complete.
 
I’m so frustrated as I’ve had to rewrite my final 10 experiences 4 times now because the sight crashes when I try to submit.

My LOR just submitted today after a bunch of computer troubles. I was in contact with admissions the whole time about it. It took 3 days to resolve the problem. Hopefully it's not too late.

I was in contact with them today and it is NOT! Too late!! They actually responded to my email scarily fast I think they must have a template email for the issues going on with the website/ application.

This was literally me when I had to continuously rewrite everything. I just got really paranoid and started saving like every minute
 
Just finished my Kira videos. It was pretty good and not too stressful even with time limits. I definitely wanted to talk more but had to cut my statements short. Good luck to you all!
 
Is the Kira the same as it was for other schools? Don’t need anyone to share content just wondering the structure? Like video vs typing questions

I’m assuming both based on what other schools have done

I've never done the Kira before... how do the video questions work? Are you presented with a prompt, and then given time to think about the question before responding? If so, how much time do you have to think? 10 seconds? 30?

It had video questions and one (short) essay

You have 20s to think before it starts the video.

Agreed, I think for me it was the short essay response. Having that short amount of words to cover what is basically a 2-part question was stressful, and I didn't feel confident in it unfortunately. But I also agree that the time limits were definitely not an issue!
 
Just completed my Kira… had the most technical problems imaginable and of course there is no phone number and the AI chat bot is completely unhelpful. So would recommend doing it on a weekday when technical support is available.
 
Feeling thankful that I defaulted to using my mentor DVM and my academic advisor for LORs bc I just actually read the fine print of the admissions page that says the two LORs have to be from a DVM and a professor or academic advisor. I completely blanked on checking this beforehand. This whole cycle has taken such a toll on me lol I just wanted to get it in asap😭😭
 
Did the Kira Talent just come via an email from Utah State? My LOR just submitted Wednesday, but I want to know what to expect when receiving it.

I feel like offers might not come out until tomorrow or after the 15th even, since their last email encourages applicants to accept an offer elsewhere if they have one while waiting to hear back from USU

I also agree with this. I think they might even send them out after Easter since most of the waitlist movement will take place this week

Has your link come yet? I had my LORs in by Tuesday and I haven't gotten anything. I tried to call yesterday and no one picked up.
