Hear from our STARS:

“STARS is a reliable system backed by outstanding support.”

“The implementation of STARS has been a highly valuable enhancement to our reading and application process. The rollout was seamless, and the STARS team demonstrated exceptional responsiveness—particularly when adjustments were needed post-launch.

From an efficiency standpoint, STARS played a key role in helping us manage an increase in application volume without any increase in reading or processing staff. By automating recalculations, the tool allows our team to focus more on the holistic aspects of application review, which are central to our process.

Our auditing has shown a purposeful error rate of less than 1 in every 5000 completed applications, none of which would have affected admissions decisions.”
