A quick note on using AI for your application:

We don’t evaluate applications based on writing quality, but rather on the merit of your ideas and the spirit behind them. If you choose to use AI to support your application, just be sure it doesn’t erase what makes your voice and perspective unique. And at the very least, please give it a proofread :)

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out at Ciao@residenzalagoscuro.com

In bocca al Lupo!
