Has anyone received a Kira from Columbia? I have seen some people talk about it, and was wondering if anyone has actually gotten one. Here is the description from the website:

Applicant Assessment

Designated applicants will be invited to complete an online asynchronous Kira Talent Assessment. The talent assessment is conducted as a video interview which will allow us to meet candidates virtually. This video assessment enables the applicant an opportunity to provide additional information about their potential match with our program. More information will be provided via eamil once your application is received and meets all requirements.

Does this mean you need a Kira before an interview? Or are they only sending out select few Kiras to specific groups, maybe international or for higher quality applicants?

I just received a KIRA invite from them. I'm not sure how selective it is based on the website description!

I’m going to do everyone a favor on this website and recommend that you go to any other school you got into before you come to Columbia. The education here is awful and some simple google searches will show that the program is very bad. Please please please do not come here if you are reading this and have another option for school. If you do come here, good luck and I hope you don’t remember this message and regret this decision.

Sincerely,
A D4 at Columbia
