What softwares do adcom use to detect AI? For applicants writing their own rec letters? Do they actually do that, or do they just check the authorship of the Word Doc submitted?

Stanford definitely uses some software to check if the rec letters are written by the applicant. A few years ago I had a conversation with the then head of admissions who said that in the previous cycle they denied a few folks who they were on the verge of accepting because they did the check only for those they intend to accept.

Not worth the risk.

Years ago (probably ~10) MIT was using some sort of software to check if the recommendations were submitted from the same IP address as the application itself.

Bad players who write their own recommendations are the reason that programs ask for your recommenders to submit from their work email address.

Stanford does that check post interview.

I don't know, but if MBA students can easily tell if something is ChatGPTed in applications to club leadership positions, then so can adcom. Use it as an aid to structure and help shorten essays, not to write them. You've got this! :)

Hint: IME and in my observations, if you're a native English speaker and it's obvious you're using ChatGPT to 100% write your club applications, we think you don't care enough and will be less likely to call you in for an interview.

I’m pretty sure there’s no software to check id you’ve written your own letter, but it’s not as hard as you think. They literally read thousands of letters. They know.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
