<p>In my common app essay I use faggot and cock-sucker when describing being bullied. Is this okay or should I not be as blatant?</p>
<p>F****t being the first word</p>
<p>You should probably stay away from using those words.</p>
<p>Not only that, I’ve talked to lots of admission officers, and they prefer more uplifting essays since they always get never-ending deaths/disease/bullying essays. </p>
<p>Overall the essay is very positive. This just gave some background.</p>
<p>Not if you’re applying to MIT:
