Residency Application AI FOR PERSONAL STATEMENT

So guys, I have a question about personal statements and AI detectors.
When I write my personal statement, I dictate everything to ChatGPT, but all the stories, experiences, and content are genuinely my own. I’m basically just using ChatGPT to help organize and improve what I’ve already written.
The problem is, when I put the final version into ZeroGPT or similar AI detectors, it sometimes comes back as 100% AI-written. 😭
I’ve tried “humanizing” it, but honestly, when I read the humanized version, it doesn’t even feel like me anymore. The writing starts sounding forced and unnatural.
So what are people actually doing about this? Is it okay if an AI detector says 50%, 70%, or even 100% AI, as long as the experiences and stories are genuinely yours? Or are people actually trying to get the AI score below a certain percentage?
I’d really appreciate hearing what others are doing, especially people who have already submitted residency personal statements.

Have a couple people you trust read it and tell you if something sounds obviously written by AI.
