Has anyone received a Kira Talent interview after that first wave on 8/18? Or have they only sent one wave of them so far?

from what I heard is they review your kira to determine if you get an MMI invite

Right, this post that i made was about timing of follow up after the kira interview. Also I am pretty sure there is no MMI anymore. Their website quotes a 1-1 interview and an additional interview if you are being considered for one of the tracks.

seems like kira replaced the mmi. My understanding is that only PURCH applicants will do MMI

i know someone on the admissions committee

also

Invited applicants will begin by completing a series of brief, videotaped responses in the Kira Talent portal. Based on their performance, they may be invited to a series of live, one-on-one, virtual structured interviews.

one on one is basically MMI style
