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Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn.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.
