I would say it’s more fun than testing your knowledge and reason for applying to this school? Not sure if the real thing will be similar to the practice round questions. It was kind of similar, straight forward questions to see how your problem solving skills are in different situations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePAmomof3 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) They sent Kira invites before the August 15th deadline last year. They sent Kira invites the same day to all the applicants this year. Edited August 22, 2022 by FuturePAmomof3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creamcheeese Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I got an email with an interview invite at the very end of the day yesterday at 3PM PST. I'll be traveling from out of state, does anyone know if airbnbs or motels are the way to go? Is a rental car a must-have, or can I survive off ubers?

Unless you plan on doing a lot of exploring, you could go without using a rental car. If you fly into SLC, take the Trax train to North Temple Station, then you could take the Frontrunner from SLC to Orem. The Frontrunner will drop you off right next to the campus, and you could stay at Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn and Suites, which is just across the way from UVU. Everything could be within walking distance. Edited September 2, 2022 by 68W1PtoPA 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be traveling from out of state, does anyone know if airbnbs or motels are the way to go? Is a rental car a must-have, or can I survive off ubers? Totally agree with what @68W1PtoPA said. Personally, I don't love Trax and FrontRunner BUT lots of people love it and use it daily. I just don't like to rely on public transportation. Something else to keep in mind, when I interviewed out of state I liked to travel around to look at potential living situations, so if UVU is one of your top choices, you may want to have your own form of transportation to drive around and get a feel for if this is somewhere you want to live. Plus day of the interview, you don't have to rely on walking in the heat and getting sweaty or relying on an Uber to pick you up on time. Just my 2 cents. I've rented cars with Turo and it's usually not very expensive and the benefits for me way outweigh the cons. Hotels aren't too expensive so that would definitely be the way to go over an airbnb. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
