Colleges value real, personal, and reflective essays above all else. The personal statement is your opportunity to show who you are—something AI simply cannot replicate. Essays fully generated by AI often lack emotional depth and specific personal details.
If you’ve used AI at any stage, run your essay through an AI detector (like GPTZero or Turnitin’s AI detection) to identify any sections that may seem artificial. Revise flagged areas to better match your style.
