AI Non-Usage in Our Service
At Getting In, our writers are contractually obliged not to use artificial intelligence when crafting personal statements. We adhere rigorously to a human-only writing policy to ensure each statement's authenticity and genuine touch. Whilst we undertake meticulous oversight to uphold this standard, we accept that no monitoring system is entirely foolproof.
Numerous AI tool checkers available in the market purport to differentiate between AI-generated and human-penned content. It's vital to emphasise that these tools frequently, and in fact most of the time, produce erroneous results. They often incorrectly categorise human writing as AI-driven, underscoring their unreliability.
We implement stringent checks to maintain our standards and values. Any deviation from our terms by our writers is addressed with the utmost seriousness. We deeply value the trust our clients place in our services and work unceasingly to ensure that trust remains well-founded.
Disclaimer
• GETTING IN LTD provides expert guidance on the Oxbridge application process. While our advice will strengthen the application, this in no way guarantees an applicant will gain a place at a university, and we hold no sway in this regard. GETTING IN LTD is therefore not responsible for any unsuccessful application. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided and do not accept any liability if an applicant is disingenuous. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
