On Kira's website, they detail that the "reviewers assess responses based on predefined rubrics that outline desired behaviors and competencies for the program. They look for evidence of skills like critical thinking, communication, leadership, and problem-solving in the candidate's responses." They also include a testimonial to that effect. "The advances we've made because of the insight we've gained from Kira have been beneficial across the board. You gain so much insight into how genuine the applicants are and what kind of community member they will be."

"Well, I would've started college hunting in my sophomore year, with the hopes of skipping my senior year of high school and enrolling in college a year early.

So that's the main thing I would've changed."
