KD College Prep's
Insight: Making AI Work
for Your College Essay
Success
With another college application season underway, KD College
Prep CEO David Dillard warns students of the risks associated
with submitting AI-generated application essays.
The popularity of generative AI tools has surged
over the past year, especially in higher education.
In fall of last year, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a
ground-breaking tool which featured some of the
most advanced AI writing capabilities to become
available to the general public.
“ChatGPT will revolutionize many industries and fields. AI is a
worthy educational and professional focus for many.
Using it inappropriately during a college
application process and potentially
jeopardizing future college acceptance,
college graduation, or career goals is
NOT a wise decision," said Dillard.
In response to ChatGPT's popularity, some colleges released policies
regarding its use by students. For example, Carnegie Mellon University’s
guidelines state that professors can choose whether students may use
generative AI in assignments.
The Georgia Institute of Technology
published a similar statement on its
website, specifying that students
should not copy and paste content
they did not write into an application.
KD's college counseling staff works with students to brainstorm
ideas and teaches them how to write compelling admissions
essays.
Through college counseling services,
students receive guidance on how to
compose ethically-produced essays and
application materials in ways that closely
follow college admissions guidelines.
Many colleges have yet to formally release policies
regarding generative AI use in college applications.
According to Dillard, it is only
a matter of time.
“No doubt, change is coming. College admissions departments have
continuously evolved since inception to identify truly quality students to come to
their institutions and learn how to solve the world’s problems.
It’s a constant striving to find the
authentic student candidate. That
changing landscape is why there is no
magic formula for college admission,”
Dillard said.
