Sorry to break it but McCombs clearly places real weight on the Kira assessment. While interviews are optional, Kira is mandatory for every applicant. In the recent info session, they shared that each Kira response is independently reviewed by different student evaluators, which shows how seriously it’s treated. The questions are precise and behavioral, designed to assess how you think and communicate. Structurally, Kira functions as McCombs’ primary evaluative interaction, not a formality.

So while other schools concentrate evaluative weight in mandatory interviews, McCombs flips the model. The interview is optional. Kira is not. And structurally, culturally, and operationally, McCombs treats the Kira assessment as a core admissions signal, not a mere check mark.
So.. No F word pass for me? :(

Virat kohli's 'ben stokes' incident came to my mind.

Get creative and see how it can be addressed 😅

To add, and if this helps ease down some anxiety whose Kira did not go well—please set up an optional interview, and address the question that you feel you didn’t answer well on Kira, your interviewer can mention it in their interview feedback form to the adcom
great , that's a good approach

A current student told me that is necessary that your university send the official transcripts directly to Mccombs... but is it necessary without admission?
