Villanova requires each writing supplement to be your own work, “unaided by artificial intelligence,” with denial or rescission on the table. There's no exception for grammar or feedback, so we don't review Villanova supplements.

The Admission Committee expects that each writing supplement be the original work of the applicant, unaided by artificial intelligence. Those found to be submitting writing that is not their own may be denied or have their admission rescinded.

Our reading

Villanova requires each writing supplement to be the applicant's original work "unaided by artificial intelligence," with no carve-out anywhere on the page for grammar, editing, brainstorming or draft feedback, and warns that writing that is not the applicant's own may lead to denial or rescission.
