Our policy on the Use of AI
Do not use AI to respond to essay questions in this application. We want to hear your unique voice and learn about your particular experiences and perspective. Responses generated by AI lack specificity and detail, important nuance, and sound generic. AI-generated responses may disqualify your application. If you are concerned about your writing skills, the University Writing Center is an excellent resource: https://writingcenter.utah.edu/.
