Did my interview, was expecting a decision for Dec 4. Instead they wanted to set up a second interview with careers (first was with alum). That interview is next week. Seemed to be a couple of set time periods over two days, so assuming everyone who has this second interview will hear soon afterwards?

Yes.. That would be me

From previous posts, I see there is a KIRA component and you will get the links after you submit the application.

Is the "What gaps in your skillset will you need to develop to prepare for this career?" question the same as the personal statement?

I am applying to Imperial as well.
From what i understand once we submit this part of application, then new links will appear in documents upload section where we can upload a personal statement, cv, etc.
I have emailed adcom regarding this. Waiting for their reply.
If anyone on this thread can confirm that would be great.

Thank you . I guess I will just take part of my personal statement and use it as what skills I want to use is part of that. I also didn't know about the KIRA until this thread.

I am also not sure about KIRA as it's not stated on the program page currently.
Great. Please update if my prediction looks true. I will be submitting it shortly too.

PelumiOgunlana and anyone else who is confused about this too.
I received a reply from the adcom:
"The application is a two-step process, and you will only be asked to provide your referee details and upload supporting documents after you fully complete the application form. Once that is submitted, you will then be asked to enter in your referee details and upload your CV, personal statement and any score reports. Please ensure you provide two professional references and provide their professional email addresses as we are unable to accept references that are from personal email accounts."

Has anyone received any invite yet for R2 ?

Not yet.
