Generally safe
- For TMDSAS medical applications, brief brainstorming assistance and human editing support are acceptable — just ensure the final content is authentically yours.
- Run your self-written essays through grammar or spell-check tools to polish language without replacing your own voice.
- Use AI tools for light brainstorming or to spark ideas before you begin drafting your own application essays.
Things to Avoid
- Avoid using AI assistance of any kind during medical school interviews conducted through the TMDSAS process.
- Do not use AI writing or text-generation tools (such as ChatGPT or similar) to draft or complete your Engineering ETAM application essays — this is an explicit prohibition that can result in an honor code violation.
- For TMDSAS medical school applicants, do not allow AI to compose or produce the substance of your personal statements or application responses.
- Avoid submitting any application essay where the core content was generated by AI rather than written by you, especially given Texas A&M's Honor Code expectations.

Medical applicants applying via TMDSAS face a platform-level rule requiring that application content not be composed by a third party; AI use during interviews is also explicitly banned under TMDSAS terms.
Texas A&M's main admissions office (freshman, transfer, and graduate) has no explicit AI policy for application essays, placing it at (P0)/D0/(C0) — but the absence of a policy is not an endorsement of AI use.
The College of Engineering carries a hard, program-level prohibition: ETAM applicants are explicitly told not to use AI text generators for their essays, with violations referred to the Aggie Honor System Office under Student Rule 20.1.2.3.
Law applicants are governed by LSAC CAS baseline AI guidance, and individual Texas A&M law programs may impose additional restrictions on top of that platform standard.
The main Texas A&M admissions office (admissions.tamu.edu) has no explicit AI policy for freshman, transfer, or graduate application essays. The Aggie Code of Honor ('An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal') is referenced on application pages but does not specifically mention AI. However, the College of Engineering has an explicit (P4) prohibition for Entry to a Major (ETAM) essays: 'Do not use AI text generators such as ChatGPT to complete your ETAM application.' Violations are referred to the Aggie Honor System Office under Student Rule 20.1.2.3. The university-wide AI guidelines (ai.tamu.edu) address coursework, not admissions applications. Previous classification of (P4) at the university level was too broad; the prohibition is specific to ETAM within Engineering.
