How are your applications going? Did you submit the application already?

I am fine tuning the essays, will most likely end up submitting on the last day.

Just an FYI, KIRA links for me was mailed after 18 hours of application submission and KIRA assessment needs to be submitted before the 11th septemeber deadline. So please plan accordingly

Thanks! I actually got an email from Oxford SBS today that since there are some issues with the link to the interview, only the written application needs to be submitted before the 11th September deadline. The video assessment can be done next week.

I took it early. :p
Kira Expierence:
- First two question were general why mba, why now and why oxford?
-Next two questions were behavioural generally applicable to corporate set up like how will you convince your manager for new Idea, conflict resolve etc
-Last question is very absurd: Explain what animal you would like to be and why?

Aaah thanks a ton man! Submitted the application last night. Waiting for the link. :)
Meanwhile, I'm going crazy because my recommender hasn't submitted the LOR yet! -_-

Oh is it? Did you email them inquiring about the link or they informed immediately after you submitted the written essays? It's been almost 12 hours now that I have submitted the written application, haven't received any such info.

They informed me before I submitted my application. This is what it said:

You should receive this link shortly, however please note you are able to submit your application without completing this online assessment, and a member of our team will then be in touch to provide your link to you as soon as possible next week. You will then be able to complete the online assessment so that your complete application can go on to be processed.

Hey, I am not sure whether this one week extension is for everyone or for only those who are facing issues with KIRA Assessment link.

Hi all, currently trying to finish the application!

I was wondering, did everyone tell untold stories in their essay or did you address any deficiencies (like an optional essay)?

Thanks. Good luck all!

If you have any deficiencies, you should try to address those in the optional essays. If not, you should tell something new (untold stories) not covered elsewhere.

You can log in into your application portal and see the dashboard.
You will see a green tick in front of the online assessment field. The dashboard will give you an overview of pending documents if any. Today is the last day to submit any pending documents so please check if all the mandatory fields of your application are completed, including documents, recommendations and online assessment. Hope this helps.

Since Sep 19th is more than a week after the deadline, most probably the admissions committee will consider your application for Round 2
