<p>I'm writing an essay for the common essay..
It starts with a dialogue between a person and me. ( only 3 sentences )
Is it okay to do that for the first sentence of my essay?</p>
<p>Depends. Remember, it’s a personal statement, not like a hs essay assigment. If the conversation is brief and relevant, it might be ok. Remember that adcoms review quickly and can’t read between the lines. Make sure you make a point about your strengths and include “show-not-tell.”</p>
<p>Yeah, perfectly fine if it adds something to the message you’re sending. I actually used a similar technique in one of my essays.</p>
<p>I think it’s fine as long as you can transition well into the rest of the essay</p>
<p>Tbh. dialogue almost automatically spices up any essay. It will be a great hook if relevant</p>
<p>thanks everyone!</p>
