A note on using Artificial Intelligence (AI): a real live human will be reading your short essay answers. So we ask that you, a real human, shares your personal story with us. Using AI tools like Grammerly to spellcheck and correct grammar is totally acceptable. Using AI Generators like ChatGPT or Google Gemini to draft or write your essays is a violation of the CCA Student Code of Conduct, and could result in a low score on the Essay section.
