Im a little confused. So when I go to the RFU website for info session there is a session for 10/7 and anyone can register for that information session. So do people who got the zoom meeting go to the same thing and they separate themselves afterwards? 

There's general info session and then break rooms with much smaller amount of ppl. All you need to do is show up for your day and they will take care of the rest. Hope that helps

Not the same that's just a general info session. There was one yesterday where we met with the admissions counselor for questions that's not going to be the one you're personally invited to with the committee and students.

No she's talking about the public info session on RFU website. That's completely separate from the one you get after your Kira. You wouldn't be able to register for the second interview publicly online like that.

Thank you guys for clarification! 🙏🏻

I received notification my application is on hold .

they sent email to confirm receipt 9/5 and received hold decision today . I did not receive a Kira invite . I'm assuming this is a soft no . Don't know how to feel about it. The FAQ section says it means you're still in consideration but that's with the interview so how do you get placed on hold without a Kira . Anyone have any experience with this ?

I put this in the other RFU thread too-

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!!

Have you been given an update? I applied and got confirmation email 9/3 without any other update. I didn't even get sent a pin yet. I emailed them and asked about it and they said it only comes when you're further in the admission process. Confirmation email also said allow 6-8 weeks for a decision. 

Those who got pins, did you get them before your Kira? And did everyone who got a pin get a Kira?

I personally got it before Kira invite, right with the confirmation they got my application. Hope that helps

Sorry, it's the initial login info to RFU portal. They give you a PIN number that you use to log into your account.

No update yet. The waiting is sooo hard but record number of applicants will give you that. A thousand is blowing my mind. I didn't need a pin because I already had my portal from last years application, I just saw a new toggle where it went from 2025 to 2026. I really would love to hear something soon!! Best of luck
