Those who completed Kira, how long until you received follow up / next steps? Thank you in advance!

Applied 8/7; file verified 8/8. Kira invite came 9/2 and I completed it 9/4. I got an email on Fri 9/5 inviting me to an info session on 9/30. Hope that helps!

Just EI questions. Be authentic and be yourself. We all got this!

So is the info session basically the second interview?  Or will there be two separate invites to zoom sessions - one for the info session and one for the second interview?

The info session is basically the 2nd interview with faculty and students. On rare occasion, you may just need Kira interview to be accepted.  Hope that helps 🙂

I know people have been asking about timeline! I submitted NursingCAS on Sept 3, had a transcript entry that needed correcting, verified this morning (9/8), and just got an email from RFU that my application is ready for committee review. I applied last year so I don't know if that has anything to do with going from verified to committee review any faster. The email says to allow up to 6 weeks for the review. Just sharing some info! Fingers crossed for a Kira! Good luck everyone!!

Unfortunately not, but I also applied right before the admissions deadline closing and by then most if not all spots were filled. Tried to be faster this time, jealous of everyone that got in the day it opened! Was waiting for a class to finish
