AI flagging my admissions essay?

This is what I was referring to in my above post, and where some students I know have been contacted by the UCs to explain. If the student has a history of their writing and revisions, like in google docs, they will be fine.

Like I also told OP, I doubt the UCs or any school would contact them for a 29% AI/plagiarism score. Many original writings would show up with that level of ‘suspected’ AI/plagiarism in the inaccurate GPTZero (which is what OP used). As long as they have the history of their writing they would be fine even if queried.

Wow, I stand corrected!

It is important to note that a plagerism detector is not a AI detector. Plagerism scans for pre-written content avaliable online while AI detectors don’t. I don’t know if the UCs are just scanning for plagerism or if that includes AI. I would assume just plagerism because the amount of false positives they would get from any AI detector would be way to much for them to fully investigate.
