AI MBA admissions policies at top MBA programs

Artificial Intelligence Usage

Have you utilized AI in completing the application? Note, the use of AI is permitted; however, you should not claim AI output as your own independent work, and you should always verify the quality of concepts and content that you develop through the use of generative AI tools.

In accordance with HBS student policy, you must cite your sources. Please indicate below in what manner you have utilized AI in completing this application, and in which sections.

Statement of Application Integrity

I hereby certify that the information presented in my application is accurate, complete, and honestly presented. I understand that it is my obligation to notify Harvard Business School immediately if there are any changes in the information I have provided in this application. I authorize all persons and entities herein named to provide information to Harvard Business School (HBS) or its agent to verify any aspect of my application and/or my credentials for admission. I understand HBS or its agent may take additional steps to fully consider all aspects of my candidacy. I understand and agree that any inaccurate information, misleading information, or omission will be cause for the rescission of any offer of admission, or for discipline, dismissal, or revocation of degree if discovered at a later date.

The MBA Admissions Office reserves the right to rescind offers of admission of any candidate between the time of admission and matriculation if we become aware of any conduct that we reasonably determine to be inconsistent with the HBS Community Values or MBA Program Honor Code available here.

Statement of Application Authenticity

I hereby certify that the information presented in my application is accurate, complete and honestly represented. In the spirit of the HBS Community Values, I have not claimed the work of others as my own original work.

It is improper and a violation of the terms of this application process to have another person or tool write your essays. Such behavior may result in denial of your application or revocation of your admission.

The Wharton School of Business embraces the use of generative AI technology and sees it as an important tool for business leaders in this rapidly changing world. While we believe that generative AI will continue to provide utility to all students, your work contained within this application must be your own. We recommend applicants treat generative AI as you would the guidance or writings of another person. For example, this means that, as it is unacceptable to have another person substantially complete a task like writing an admissions essay, it is also unacceptable to have AI substantially complete the task.

By embracing AI responsibly, Wharton aims to uphold the integrity of the application process while leveraging technological advancements to enrich the admissions experience. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania requires that the work in your application must be completely accurate and exclusively your own, and may use its own proprietary and/or licensed AI solutions in order to identify AI-authored elements of applications. Any such flagging will result in a more holistic investigation of an application.

By checking the box I confirm that I will adhere to Generative AI Policy.

We encourage the kind of thoughtful reflection that can benefit from a sounding board, and AI tools may serve that role. However, the authorship of this essay must be your own. Kellogg is looking for your voice, your reasoning, and your story. Those cannot be outsourced.

We, the students, faculty and administration of The Kellogg School of Management are committed to the highest levels of integrity, professionalism, and respect for others, both inside and outside the classroom. We have a responsibility to behave ethically in all situations, to represent honestly our own contributions and those of others in all the work we perform, and to acknowledge and respect diversity in individuals and cultures.

Columbia Business School requires that the work contained in your application (including essays) is completely accurate and exclusively your own. Columbia University permits the use of generative AI tools for idea generation and/or to edit a candidate’s work; however, using these tools to generate complete responses violates the Honor Code.

Whilst we acknowledge that many might use AI to finetune their essays, I would always advise the starting point comes from you... (if you do use generative AI in any way, make sure to reference it!)

Ross graduate admissions recognizes the appropriate use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools for providing guidance and suggestions. If you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) software in the creation of your essay answers, you are required to use the APA in-text citation "Personal Communication." Rule: (Communicator, personal communication, Month Date, Year); example: (OpenAI, personal communication, January 16, 2023)

Your essays must be written entirely by you. An offer of admission will be rescinded if you did not write your essays.

All submitted materials must be your own work and a truthful representation of your experiences. Essays are reviewed using plagiarism detection software. Using language or content from external sources, including websites, publications, other applicants' materials, consultants, or AI-generated content, without proper attribution constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is a violation of the Fuqua Honor Code and may result in denial of admission.

Can I use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help me write my MBA application and respond to essay prompts?

Responsible Use of AI

We understand that applicants may use generative AI tools to support their application process. We believe there is a place for AI in the application process, but authenticity and integrity must remain at the core of your submission. AI can be a valuable collaborator to help you brainstorm, edit, and refine your ideas... Do not copy and paste AI-generated responses Do not use AI to fabricate experiences, achievements, or credentials Do not rely on AI to write your essays for you Do not use AI to misrepresent your qualifications or intentions
