Hi Abhimanyu,

Congrats on getting done with the process :)

What were the KIRA questions like? Also, how many days after the KIRA assessment did you receive the interview invite?

The kira questions were behavioural with a focus on team working.
1. Tell me a time you have to work with someone with a different personality.
2. Tell me about a time when you have more responsibilities than you can handle.
3. Written- if you had one chance to change a thing about yourself, what would it be?

Interview is quite conversational. Adcoms are looking forward for a friendly conversation and not a standard interview theme. Make sure to have an honest pitch and definitely research a lot for post MBA goals.

My interview started with introduce yourself > How come canada > why us > 3 professional strengths > research in your target role area > any weakness In your profile > critical feedback received > team work is important for us how do you go about time when someone doesn't agree with you in team > how do you make plan b.

Please reach out if required any help. Yet to get my decision. Will update it once I receive it from adcom.

Sure! It was very chill, didn’t feel like an interview but like a coffee chat. There’s one person from the admissions committee and one from the career services team. As long as your introduction, why MBA, why Smith answers are well-structured and have solid examples to back with, I don’t think there’s much to worry, since the other questions all depended on what I answered to these. Since I’m a dentist pursuing an MBA, they were very interested in my career shift reason and post-MBA goals.
Overall, the interview is definitely like a very friendly conversation, they make you feel super comfortable, and you can be yourself. Just have good clarity of thought about yourself and what and why you want to do this, and I think you can make it!
All the best :)

I beleive anything above 700 is comfortable score. With that said, Gmat is just one part of your application.
