This is the 2025-26 wording, carried over: University of Connecticut has not republished this prompt for 2026-27 yet. Schools usually post updates around the Common App opening on August 1; we re-check after that and change this text only against an official source.
The school's published AI policy
However, your ultimate submission should be your own. As with all other sources, do not copy and paste content you did not create directly into your application. If you choose to utilize AI-based assistance while working on your writing submissions for UConn, we encourage you to take the same approach when collaborating with people – use it to brainstorm, edit, and refine your ideas. You should approach and consider any interaction with an AI-based assistance tool as a learning experience that may help you generate ideas, provide alternative phrasing options, and organize your thoughts.

Our reading
UConn requires the final submission to be the applicant's own and forbids pasting in content they did not create, but explicitly permits AI tools to brainstorm, edit, refine ideas, suggest alternative phrasing and organize thoughts.
How reviews use this page
When you request a review for a University of Connecticut supplement, the feedback is grounded in exactly what you see here: the prompt itself, its word limit, and what the school publishes about its values and programs. That's the whole claim — calibrated to the prompt and the school's own published guidance, scored against a consistent rubric. Not insider knowledge, and never a rewrite: Second Read is a coach, not a ghostwriter. It flags weaknesses and tells you what to fix and why; it never writes a sentence of your essay.
Something wrong on this page?
A wrong deadline is worse than no deadline. If anything here doesn't match the school's official page, tell us — same-day fix is the goal.
