is story-like writing acceptable for essays?

<p>i'm a pretty good writer, and i can write good essays, but i'm finding myself using a story-like manner in my college essays. is that ok? will colleges see it as a sign that i can't write persuasively? or can it be a sort of more interesting approach to the standard essay? has anyone seen story-like essays posted as examples on a college admissions websites?</p>

<p>That's fine. Just make sure to use it to good effect.</p>
