Eerily quiet here! Where are all R1 applicants at? App submission deadline is just 3 days away.

dbsheta · Answer

Only 1 day to Round 1 deadline! Folks make sure to complete the video essay as soon as possible so that you don't have to worry about any technical difficulties you face while recording the video.

Note: Carlson doesn't use Kira Talent and has its own portal for recording the essay. There's a warning regarding webRTC as well. I couldn't complete the essay on Safari and had to switch to Firefox.

All the best! And keep this forum busy with questions and information!

Hello, I have a question regarding video essay.

Is the question asked in the actual video essay selected from the Video Essay Bank of Questions (20 questions) described in the Carlson's website? Or different question might be asked?
