Notes on AI usage
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application-but your answers must be your own.
- Show us the real you
Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically. - Use AI wisely
It's fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don't let it write your answers. - Why this matters
Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip
Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you-not an AI tool.
