<p>Though I'm sure your son's essay was wonderful and entertaining, I personally would choose to guide him away from anything that could be construed as discriminatory. I know others might disagree, and some adcoms might appreciate edginess, but the fact is, you just NEVER know into whose hands an application may fall. Why take the chance? I'd have advised my own son against doing that. And as always, YMMV.</p>
