What University of Maine publishes

As of our last check, University of Maine 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. Maine recommends an essay or personal statement and prints no prompt for it; the prompts it prints are for first-year Nursing applicants. 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

University of Maine accepts applications through ApplyMaine Application and Common App. We read each admissions page listed below for a rule on applicants' use of AI and found none. What University of Maine does say about the essay and about honesty is quoted here, in its own words.

“Applicants must reflect on their personal experiences, values, and aspirations to provide genuine and well-crafted responses using specific examples.”
