I think the extent of our interviews was the KIRA assessment actually.

This is correct. They said in the info session it was all they had time for this year given the class starts in August and next year it'll likely be different since they'll of course be accredited already!

I am, applying from Boston! Just received my acceptance and honestly freaking out about the quick move and transition. Was not expecting to get in after that Kira assessment.

Congratulations!! Can I ask what your application status was prior to getting accepted? Did it go from "complete under department review" to accepted. Or did it switch to the "additional review required"

YAYY congratulations!! I'm worried about my Kira assessment too, I ran out of time on one of the questions but hopefully they look past that! Also when it was updated on the website was it as simple as saying Accepted until you received the email afterwards?

Oh nooooo. I ran out of time on mine and didn't wear makeup because I was up at 4:30 am doing a nursing clinical for my part time position.
