Policy: AI Usage on SMU Graduate Application

All students who wish to submit an application will have to acknowledge our statement on the use of AI as part of their application. This statement will be posted on the final page of the application: 

I confirm that I have completed my admission application to this SMU graduate program without any artificial intelligence (AI) assistance. All elements of my application, including essays, statements, and responses, are the product of my own effort and creativity. I also pledge to maintain this level of authenticity during any admission interviews or evaluations, ensuring that my thoughts and answers are solely based on my own knowledge and abilities.

By signing below, I certify my commitment to preserving the integrity and transparency of the graduate admission process at SMU. I acknowledge that any violation of this commitment may result in the disqualification of my application.
