How competitive is the Kira -> MMI conversion? Surprised at the quick turnaround after PreView (4 lol) came in just 2 weeks ago. I got the II in February last cycle so it looks like something is working now with the reapp lol.

Adcom has said everyone who gets kira this year will get MMI. Next year kira will be used to trim.

For me yes. Counting it as an II because it says “interview” in the email.

Is the KIRA being used to determine acceptance after you get the official interview?

My guess is they are piloting it this year to see how they like it, so next year they can use it as an actual screen between the secondary and live interview. I do think everyone should try their best on it regardless, because we can't rule out it being used as a final determinant between two applicants way down the line.

I would assume not right? That would be superfluous to some extent. No clue. Gonna do Kira tomo

im going to guess that they may try to see if there is a correlation between Kira interview scores, live interview scores, and students they accept to see if it can be a predictor of a student's success/fit

Where do they say this? It seems like not everyone gets past Kira according to their website T.H. Chan School of Medicine - Admissions
