  • Integrity Attestation

    This application includes questions requiring short responses (100 word minimum).

    It is expected that candidates will submit their own work.

    This is an acknowledgement that students will complete the application on their own. Any application containing responses found to not be the applying student's original work will be disqualified. 

    While AI assistance in starting the application is allowed, the student’s “voice” must still be apparent. Evidence of too much reliance on AI, such as “fill-in-the-blank” prompts, formatting errors due to “cut-and-paste”, etc, will result in the application being rejected.

    *By continuing with the application, you are committing to responding to each question in your own words.
