I don't feel like the FB group is up to date (the admin is in charge of adding people to the group and I think w/ the holidays and wrapping up interviews some people haven't been added yet), but we received a welcome email from ----------------------...

I would suggest keeping your camera on the entire time. I am sure they keep tabs on who is engaged and present for the entire duration of the interview.

That is correct from my understanding. I did not get access to the portal until they sent the email with the zoom interview invite.

congratulations! That is amazing! Welcome to the class 🙂

You're in!! Congrats!!🍾🎉 if you click the link that says "view update" under the "status update" heading you should be able to see the acceptance letter with confetti! It's the same portal you used to schedule your zoom interview.

They seem to be making decisions fairly quick, acceptances have been granted within 24 hours of the zoom interview. However, I do agree that the automated emails are confusing. I would say your status on RFU connect is the most accurate.

I personally chose all areas except for Colorado and I know other people who have been accepted that just chose Colorado. ------------------------- said to be honest about were you are willing to complete your clinicals. Wishing everyone the best!

The 1.5hours included the interview, discussion of the program, Q&A, and meeting some students.

It lasts about 1.5 hours and it's emotional based questions. They really just want to get to know your character and who you are. They aren't out to trick you or make it super complicated. I hope this helps!

So that must have been automated because I received that email as well. Do you have any updates through your RFU portal? Yay! Congratulations!! I can't wait to meet you😊

I received an email around 11:30 this morning. I'm praying you get that acceptance too! The waiting period is so nerve wrecking!

I got accepted as well! Congratulations to everyone and rooting for everyone still going through the process!

I'd say the interview went well! It was a group format. The faculty and students were very welcoming, so that definitely eased the nerves. They truly want to get to know you more as an applicant. All the best to those who will be interviewing soon!

I would be surprised if we knew right away. I think we will have to wait at least a day or until next week. I do believe we can be waitlisted after the interview as well. This is just from what I've read on last years forum, so I'm not 100% sure.

Please check your spam or junk. I just happened to check on Monday and saw the email with the link.

Yes I think it's better to be over prepared than not! And confidence is definitely key. All the best to you!

I'm feeling good, a little anxious! I'm not sure too sure what to expect. From last years forum, it seems like the interview was pretty short (5ish mins) and most time was for Q&A and program overview. How are you feeling?

That is what I did. I had a section for references with their name, title, and contact info (I only used 3 references, which is the requirement).

The first round of zoom interviews from my knowledge will take place next Thursday.

At the end of next week. They are pretty straight forward emotional intelligence type questions. You will have more than enough time to get your thoughts together and answer the questions. You only get one try for each question though, so jus...

From what I've heard, it is more behavioral/ emotional intelligence. I felt like the Kira assessment covered quite a bit of that, so I'm just a little curious as to what else they may ask. If someone else has any insight, that would be great!

Oh okay. That is the impression I am getting as well.

Did you also specify your clinical preferences during the zoom? The overview video seems to put emphasis on it and that acceptance will also be based on which clinical region you want.

So I've been wondering the same since the program overview video made it seem like it would be a time to get more info about the program and ask questions. But the email makes it seem like it is an interview for them to get to know us more as well. I...

Have there been any new invites for the Kira assessment? I am awaiting the zoom interview at the end of the month, it was the earliest time to sign-up for it.
