This concerns the Fall 2024 enrollment, which implies deadlines like November 2023 for Early Decision, and January/February 2024 for Regular Decision.

Resolves as YES, if, for the Bachelor-level admissions for 2024, at least one of those things happens:

• one of the Ivy League colleges omits the student essay from their Bachelor-level admissions process

• one of the Ivy League colleges adds additional technological requirements for the Student Essay that are designed to prevent, detect, hinder the use of LLMs, or

• three of the Ivy League colleges officially declare that, while the essay still a part of the admissions, it's considered much less important than before

It's still a NO, if Ivy League colleges officially declare that they look for something else in the essay (like, more personal experiences?), but the weight of the essay doesn't seem to change.

(I'm not sure this is the best kind of criteria, please let me know!)
