Statement on Applicants’ Use of AI in the Admission Process

Oglethorpe University’s Office of Admission recognizes that AI-based technologies, such as ChatGPT, Bard AI, and others, are powerful and convenient tools. While AI-based writing assistance may be utilized to enhance elements of the application, such as language, grammar, and structure, it is crucial that the ultimate submission of any content be your own. We value authentic self-expression, and you should not copy and paste any content you did not create directly into any part of your application, essay, or supplemental materials. AI can be a useful collaborative tool to help you brainstorm and edit elements of your application, but ultimately, we want to learn about you from you.
