Personal statement ai generated???
I’m having the some issues with my statement, my original draft was 0% (my personal statement wasn’t very good as it was just a first draft of my main ideas) but after some revisions by friends and teachers (I’ll be honest I did use the internet to rewrite a few sentences I was struggling with) after these revisions it came back as 33% generated and I thought to rewrite some sentences myself and after it came back as 38% and each time I rewrote it myself it seems like the more I write the more ai generated it becomes even if I don’t use ai for it? Grammarly says it’s 33% ai generated and GPTzero says it’s only 2% ai generated is it still safe to use?

I’ve been concerned about this myself back when I was writing my personal statement. The general consensus is that UCAS is probably aware that AI checkers are kind of ass so they probably wouldn’t rely on them.
Also, my general rule is that if the certainty is below 50% with these AI checkers, it’s probably not a very reliable answer.
Anyways, you probably don’t need to worry about it, you’re fine.
Maybe try writing it without referring to online materials...then get a draft reviewed instead by the (human!) TSR PS reviewers in the free PS review service offered by TSR which you can read more about here: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4237154
Whatever you do make sure not to post your PS, in whole or in part, on any publicly accessible website (including the public forums on TSR) as it may then flag as plagiarism after being cached by google!

UCAS plagiarism detection will flag up a statement with 2 sentences similar to online content. That’s similarity not exact copies. If you’re using internet sources to rewrite sentences then it’s much more likely to be flagged as plagiarism.
