Note on Academic Integrity

To ensure a fair and meaningful evaluation process, all submissions must represent your own original work. The use of AI-generated content or similar automated tools undermines the integrity of the admissions process and does not accurately reflect your abilities or engagement. Upholding academic honesty is a core value of our institution, and we expect all applicants to demonstrate genuine personal commitment in their applications.

We look forward to reading your ideas and learning about your aspirations.
