Essay and Recommendation

When answering the written prompts in the application, please focus on expressing your own ideas and using your unique voice. The goal is to think critically and show your writing skills. While AI tools can be useful for research or grammar checks, they should not be used to write any part of your essay. You may use AI to find sources or clarify concepts, but the content, structure, and language must be entirely your own. This is an opportunity to showcase your thoughts and independent thinking. Let your work reflect your creativity, passion, and knowledge!
