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.

Tip:

Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
