A separate Manhattan Prep/Kaplan survey of business school admissions officers found that only a handful of business schools have policies in place directing students how they can use AI in their admissions essays, signaling the issue is still unsettled.**\nOther findings from the survey of aspiring MBA students include:\n\nThere is some concern among those polled that allowing applicants to use GenAI in their admissions essays gives them an unearned edge. Exactly half say it unfairly levels the playing field for applicants who don’t possess strong writing skills; 32 percent don’t believe that to be the case; the remaining 18 percent are unsure.\nOf those surveyed, 60 percent said they would likely use AI in their admissions essays if the schools they were applying to allowed it; 24 percent said they were unlikely to use it; 16 percent said they were unsure.\nBut once applicants have proven their mettle, those polled see things a bit differently. Two-thirds (67 percent) say business schools should allow enrolled students to use GenAI as part of their classwork/academic experience, with certain guidelines and restrictions; 20 percent believe enrolled students should be allowed to use GenAI with no restrictions at all; 8 percent said it shouldn’t be allowed under any circumstances; the remaining 6 percent were unsure.\nAnd when asked how often they use AI in the workplace or in their personal lives, 8 percent said \"always\"; 25 percent said \"frequently\"; 38 percent said \"occasionally\"; 19 percent said \"rarely\"; and 10 percent said \"never.\"\n\n\"Aspiring MBA students are going to have to take the GMAT exam without the use of GenAI. And they also built up their GPAs without using it either, considering how new the technology is, so it’s not surprising that many think it's necessary for business schools to put guardrails around its use in the admissions process. At the same time, our results show that many are eager to use GenAI to their advantage if allowed,\" said Stacey Koprince, director of content and curriculum, Manhattan Prep, which is owned by Kaplan. \"While results from Manhattan Prep and Kaplan’s most recent business school admissions officers survey show that most MBA programs have no policy at all when it comes to allowing applicants to use GenAI in admissions essays, we don’t believe that’s a tenable long-term position, as they will increasingly get questions from prospective students who want to know the boundaries of acceptable use. Our prediction: Many business schools will be developing GenAI policies in the coming year.\"\nContact russell.schaffer@kaplan.com to speak with a business school admissions expert.\n*The online Manhattan Prep/Kaplan survey was conducted in March-April 2024 and included responses from 306 aspiring business school students across the United States.
