  • Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.

  • Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.

  • Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI\-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
