Your application will be read by at least 4 human reviewers. Their time, brain power, and energy are very valuable. It can be tempting to use AI to “smooth” or “improve” your writing. However, if you use AI-generated text, the result is quite generic. It is very forgettable when reading many applications.
We ask you to write a personal statement because we want to get to know you. We do not want to get to know ChatGPT. We genuinely enjoy listening to your voice when you write authentically, so please complete your application accordingly! Please do not waste both your and our time letting a chatbot write for you. Instead, please be yourself in your application and talk to us directly.
