What Vassar College publishes
As of our last check, Vassar 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.

What we checked
Vassar College accepts applications through Common App, Coalition and QuestBridge. We read each admissions page listed below for a rule on applicants' use of AI and found none. What Vassar College does say about the essay and about honesty is quoted here, in its own words.
“Vassar reserves the right to revoke an offer of admission if an applicant’s self-reported scores do not align with those in their official score report.”

“Your Space is your opportunity to allow the Committee on Admission to learn something about you that you have not addressed in another section of the application.”

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 (November 3, 2026), and you are responsible for verifying Vassar College's current policy yourself before you rely on it, here or anywhere else.
Supplemental essays, 2026-27
Not readable outside the application · Checked November 3, 2026 · the school's page · deadlines on Vassar College's site
Vassar's first-year page refers to the Vassar supplement inside the Common App or Coalition application and describes an optional Your Space submission, and prints no prompt; the questions appear only inside the application.
Vassar College's essay questions could not be read outside its application. Check them in the application itself.
