What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing issues with accessing the KIRA assessment, deadlines for completing it, and sharing tips and experiences with the assessment. Some members had trouble with the assessment, while others shared their strategies for completing it successfully. Additionally, there are questions about GRE scores, application requirements, and interview notifications from TCU.

Hi I didn't see a thread yet for people applying this may! I'm curious if everyone is completing the optional writing portion of the application? I don't have a period of low grades necessarily and I'm not sure what they're wanting in the second box for "comments for the interviewers" either! lmk what ya'll think!

Has anyone taken another chem course that wasn't required? If so did you state on your application that you are doing it? 
 And did anyone not get a 300 on the GRE?

I only took the required Organic Chemistry. Which chem course did you take? Also, I got a 302 on the GRE, but my verbal was below the 150 minimum

I actually took it a few days ago! I think we're not supposed to go into too much detail, but I can say it was much more brief than I expected.

I'm currently in Ochem and put that on my application, and when the course will be done.

I bombed that KIRA assessment. 😞
The 2nd question response was only 1 minute 15 seconds long. I barely even set up the scenario.

I also don't feel like I did good at all - I got cut off when I was in the middle of my sentence LOL

They sent me a new link since I let them know I never actually began the process.

Hi! I've submitted my application already, I'm just waiting on my GRE scores to post to my application. Can anyone share how long it took for their scores to get from ETS to their nursingcas app? Thank you in advance! Good luck everyone!

I waited a couple weeks and I still didn't see it, so I called NursingCas and they were able to locate it and attach it to my application instantly! So when in doubt, give them a call!

Yes! I did exactly this and that worked. So strange! Thank you!
