I think it is ok to ask AI to rate your college essay, and then ask for areas of improvement. It is similar to having a person read and share thoughts. The issue is that AI wants to rewrite it for you, but you can’t take the bait. Instead, when it rates an excellent essay an 81, tell it that you want it to be more conversational and less polished. Then it will go up 5-10 points. Finally, you can ask them for 1 thing you should change in your essay to make the rating increase. Decide on whether you like the suggestion (without taking it literally) and then you have gone as far as you should ever go with AI IMO.
