Do college essays need paragraph transition sentences?

Like for my essay, should I write paragraph transition sentences or jump right into what I am talking about?

Jump right in, unless you think it’s appropriate to have a transition sentence; you don’t need them, though.

They should be well written.

@OnMyWay2013 and @bjkmom Hey guys, I’m sorry for intruding on the thread but I’m currently in a fix and I’m debating whether I should rewrite my common app essay or not, can you guys give it a read and help me out? Thanks! and I’m sorry!

Not if you’re in a hurry. I’m on my way out the door to pick mom up for a Christmas concert.

If you want to PM it to me, I’ll try to get to it in the next few days.

If you still need someone to read it, I’d love to!
