<p>LOLOLOLOL i never thought about this while writing my college essays… i wouldn’t personally. i don’t think they’d appreciate curse words.</p>
<p>I have a friend who got into Northwestern (and is attending) after using “**<strong><em>” in his essay but the essay was, as far as I remember, an essay that went like “Why would I want to go to a university that has the best neurological research in hte nation? Why would I want to spend time with such brilliant people” etc. (Dont quote me I’m guessing from what I remember) So the “theme” of the essay allowed the usage of the word “</em></strong>*”.</p>
<p>I cursed in mine so that I could differentiate myself. Didn’t get in lol (although im sure the essay was the least of my worries)</p>
<p>I used them in my essays and was accepted to many schools. Just make sure that it fits the tone of the essay and is understandable. I think I only used the word once or twice but it was in an emotional point of the essay.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
