Hey everyone, I have been working on my college essays lately and I'm feeling a bit stressed. I'm worried that my essays might get flagged by plagiarism detectors, even though my work is completely original. Do colleges typically use AI detectors to check essays for plagiarism? Thanks for any insights!
Hi there! many colleges do use AI-based tools and software to check for plagiarism in submitted essays. These tools compare your essay to a vast database of content, ensuring that the work submitted is indeed original. However, while it's true that AI detectors are used, if your work is 100% your own, you shouldn't worry about getting flagged for plagiarism, as there's no chance that the exact essay you've written appears elsewhere on the internet.
Best of luck with your college essays and applications!
