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• Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI‑generated content may be withdrawn.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