@ratemypiq: A high school senior asked ChatGPT to rate their UC challenge PIQ before applying to UC San Diego and got a 9/10. Then they ran the same essay through RateMyPIQ, a grader built on the UC rubric: 56/100. the essay: their family moved in the middle of sophomore year, "one of the hardest things I have ever gone through," they joined some clubs, made friends, and "I will never give up." ChatGPT loved it. the grader didn't, because it says they ate lunch alone and never shows one of those lunches. no moment it got better, nothing a UC reader could picture. that's the most common problem with the significant challenge PIQ (prompt 5): it tells the reader it was hard instead of showing one hard day. ChatGPT will call almost anything a 9/10 if you ask it nicely. UC readers won't. UC applications are due Nov 30. Rate yours before the UCs do 🙄 (link in bio) #classof2027 #ratemypiq #ucapplication #piq #collegeessay
