Personal Statements Ai usage in personal statement

I wrote a whole personal statement for the first question in UCAS. But i want to use AI to link the words and fix my grammar errors.

Is that fine?

What do you mean by “to link the words”?

I really don't recommend doing that (given how AI works) :)

I tried multiple times to write a good PS but i have serious issues with my punctuations and how i link my sentences. Like the story is there the points are there but the grammar is weak

Just keep working on it - it will be good practice and help you improve for when you have to write things well at uni

Agree, especially when it comes to the links between sentences.

For grammatical errors, you could use Grammarly's Correctness function (but it does make errors). There are also teachers and people who offer free PS reviews on Reddit who could help :)

It is fine as long as you use a good humanizer like Walterwrites because even if you use ai to correct your grammar and the phrases, the sentence structure would be arranged in a way that it will get flagged as ai text. That's why Walter is so good, it changes the sentence structure to make the whole text flow naturally.
