What George Washington University publishes
As of our last check, George Washington University publishes no policy specifically addressing applicants' use of AI on application essays. Nothing on its admissions pages either permits or prohibits AI feedback, brainstorming help, or editing tools.
Silence is not permission. With no published rule, the Common App's own fraud policy and the school's general integrity expectations still apply: the essay must be the applicant's own work. Getting feedback that leaves you the author is a different act from submitting text you did not write, but where a school has stated nothing, that distinction is yours to make and yours to verify.

What we checked
George Washington University accepts applications through Common App and Coalition. We read each admissions page listed below for a rule on applicants' use of AI and found none. What George Washington University does say about the essay and about honesty is quoted here, in its own words.
“The application essay provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate your interests and English language writing skills.”

Do your own fact-checking. This page is a starting point, not the authority. The school's own admissions pages are. Policies can change after our check date (November 3, 2026), and you are responsible for verifying George Washington University's current policy yourself before you rely on it, here or anywhere else.
Supplemental essays, 2026-27
Not readable outside the application · Checked November 3, 2026 · the school's page · deadlines on George Washington University's site
GW's first-year page says the required essay answers one of two specific prompts and that an optional Writing Supplement is welcome, with the instructions on the application; neither prompt is printed on gwu.edu, and the Honors Program's extra essays are in the GW supplement as well.
George Washington University's essay questions could not be read outside its application. Check them in the application itself.
