What Kansas State University publishes
As of our last check, Kansas State 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. K-State's freshman pages list no essay; admission runs on Kansas qualified-admissions criteria, applicants who miss them answer short-answer questions in a holistic review the site does not print, and competitive scholarships take supplemental applications. None of the pages read mentions AI. The essay sentence quoted is the page's own wording.
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.
