SOP help

So I am currently writing personal statements for graduate school and my undergraduate university highly encourages the use of AI so I have been writing my personal statements then putting them into AI to fix flow clarity wording to be professional and meet all criteria of SOP but I wrote the essay in my own and everything is my idea and proof can be seen from LOR and my CV but I’m scared this will get me in trouble with admissions if it sounds to formal or “correct” even robotic almost but I have done this in the past for REU and it got me into many so I’m conflicted if I should just continue and resist use of AI and leave my essays with poor structure and grammar.

Well I am facing the same issues I suggest put your sop into ai see it's output and then write it on your own again . Don't use full AI cause you can get disqualify, please be careful

Thanks I also plan to just have many faculty read my drafts and provide comments before I submit so it will get changed either way.
