Appleby College achieves an ‘Exceptional’ 4.6/5 applicant experience score on their new admissions assessment

Appleby College, a leading independent day and boarding school in Oakville, Ontario, needed a scalable way to manage a highly competitive admissions process as applications grew by 40% in 2022. To better assess students’ skills, fit, and English proficiency while maintaining fairness and personalization, the school turned to Kira Talent and its asynchronous assessment product.

Kira Talent helped Appleby College add deeper insight to applications, streamline committee review, and support integrity through built-in flagging for unusual behavior. The result was a faster, more confident decision-making process and an exceptional applicant experience score of 4.6/5, with Appleby also reporting positive feedback from families and stronger confidence in the quality of its admissions decisions.
