Does Pomona College allow AI help with college essays?

Publishes no AI-specific policy for application essays

What Pomona College publishes

As of our last check, Pomona College 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.

Checked August 9, 2026

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 9, 2026), and you are responsible for verifying Pomona College's current policy yourself before you rely on it, here or anywhere else.
