Does Johns Hopkins University allow AI help with college essays?

Permits AI feedback; prohibits AI-written text

What Johns Hopkins University publishes

It is Hopkins' policy that you may use AI tools for brainstorming or refining ideas before the writing process begins and for basic proofreading of your own writing, such as spelling and grammar review, but all material submitted within the application must be your own original work.

Johns Hopkins' admissions FAQ explicitly permits brainstorming, idea refinement, and basic proofreading, and treats submitting AI's substantive content as application fraud under Common Application policies.

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 (August 4, 2026), and you are responsible for verifying Johns Hopkins University's current policy yourself before you rely on it, here or anywhere else.
