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- Why this matters : Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn.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.
