Hey Guys,

I submitted my application on the 4th. Received my Kira interview request today. I am a domestic applicant currently living and working in India.

Any tips of the KIRA interview? Has anyone given it recently? What type of questions should i expect?

All the best to everyone applying!

I finished my Kira interview today. Did not go as well as expected. Questions had many sub-divisions. So be ready to try and cram all your thoughts about various sub questions
into 90 seconds. I suggest practising a little before taking the assessment.

Hi All,

I have received admission offer for full time MBA from Mcmaster University and Concordia University. As per some current students of Mcmaster, though Mcmaster is ranked higher than Concordia, full time MBA at Mcmaster is not that good and they give all their attention to co op students. I am really confused which one shoud I accept. Can anyone please help me with this.

I am not sure if there is already a WhatsApp group created but you can post in the following topic https://gmatclub.com/forum/degroote-201 ... 83521.html

I see someone posted regarding creating a WhatsApp group. If there is none, I suggest you create one.

Congratulations to all those who have been admitted and good luck to those awaiting a decision.

I have also applied to the FT MBA at Degroote and have already completed my KIRA interview and 1 week later I received an email that the admissions committee wants to do a skype 15 minute interview on the 7th of Jan before a final decision is made on my application. I just want to ask the applicants to the FT program, did you appear for a skype interview after the KIRA interviews or not? I am aware that the Co-op program requires multiple interviews but I wanted to check if its the same for the FT program as well.

Please let me know if you also had a skype interview and if you could guide me as to what sort of questions to expect that would be very helpful. Thank you

Hey guys I have just finished my KIRA interview for co op.
Although the questions were pretty straight forward, I didn’t really do well.
The experience was not at all similar to a normal conversation or a face to face interview. I could see timer ticking on screen and I was distracted whole time.
Anyways it’s done. I hope to hear the good news.
Has anyone got an interview call even after he/she did not fare well on KIRA?

Thanks

Hey Bud,

Don't worry. I also jumbled a bit there. But overall I managed to get an admit.

You can connect with me, if you have any concerns.

Best of luck!
