How do schools interpret Character Skills Snapshot results?

No, they’re not using it to build psychological profiles or make snap judgments (pun intended). Schools review your Snapshot to complement everything else in your file—grades, essays, interviews, and recommendations. Think of it as the seasoning on top of a solid application meal. A school might see that you scored high in initiative and empathy, which aligns perfectly with your teacher’s letter and your leadership in community service. Or maybe your resilience score helps explain how you bounced back after a rough semester. It’s not about passing or failing—it’s about patterns. Schools look for consistency and character traits that match their values.
