Adaptive admissions interviews that reveal how applicants think, contribute, and fit — surfaced as evidence-based reports for admissions teams.
Mina leads through quiet attentiveness — her instinct in conflict is to Q4 listen before resolving.
The Interview
Every question is generated in response to what the student just said. No fixed scripts. No predictable prompts. The conversation evolves with the applicant — probing where it matters, moving on where it doesn't.
Evidence Linking
Every insight is anchored to evidence. Aster links every trait evaluation directly to the original interview moment — your team can verify any claim with a single click.
Jordan frames leadership as removing friction for others Q4 rather than directing them.
Evidence Linking — Our Core Differentiator
No black box. No paraphrased summary your committee has to trust on faith. Every Aster insight is anchored to a specific exchange in the transcript — and every committee decision can be traced back through that chain.
From Finding to Recorded Moment
Every finding opens the recorded interview at the exact second the student said it — alongside the timestamped transcript and the surrounding exchanges. Committee members verify in their own voice, not in ours.
How It Works
Aster fits into the way admissions teams already work. No new interviewers to schedule, no new rubrics to invent.
Your team adds applicants — individually or as a CSV roster — and selects the interview template aligned to your institution's values.
Each applicant receives a private link and completes an adaptive, asynchronous video interview on their own time, from a laptop or desktop with a webcam and microphone.
Aster transcribes, structures, and evaluates every exchange against the values you've selected — and links each finding to the moment it occurred.
A committee-ready report is produced for each applicant: value alignment, deep analysis, assessment depth, and a recommendation summary — every claim evidence-linked.
Your committee reads, compares, and decides — with every observation traceable to a specific exchange in the interview transcript.
For Institutions
Every institution defines what matters. Aster adapts its interviews and reports to the values each school chooses to evaluate.
Video Analysis
Aster analyzes video responses alongside written application materials — surfacing strengths, areas worth noting, communication consistency, and thought-development patterns that essays alone can't reveal.
In Practice
“The report surfaced qualities that never appeared in the student's essays.”
“The evidence linking made it easy to understand why each conclusion was reached.”
“We finally have a structured way to talk about fit beyond grades and activities.”
