What Oregon State University publishes
As of our last check, Oregon 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. Oregon State's pages name an optional personal statement and a response to one of its application essay prompts among the factors it reviews, and print neither; both sit inside the OSU application and the Common App. None of the pages read mentions AI.
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
Oregon State University accepts applications through OSU Application and Common App. We read each admissions page listed below for a rule on applicants' use of AI and found none. What Oregon State University does say about the essay and about honesty is quoted here, in its own words.
“Students wishing to provide more information about specific circumstances like IEP and documented disabilities are encouraged to submit the optional Personal Statement included in the application.”
