<p>Should app essays be casual/conversational, or formal (like a school essay)? Thanks!</p>
<p>any style that fits you. there is no requirement. it can be funny, serious, wacky, or just plain crazy. they don't have to be like school essays. this is your time to show your creative or serious side. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thanks. So I know there's no requirement, but do admissions officers look at one more favorably than another?</p>
<p>there are all kinds of admission officers. some like humor, others don't. some are serious people others more laid-back. you can't write an essay that fits everyone's likings, so I suggest you write one that you are proud of, and that will be your best ticket to admission. If you want, I can look over your essay. I already sent out my applications.</p>
<p>i did a crazy one and i loved it.</p>
<p>Any format is fine, as long as it's personal. Sometimes, conversational essays are easier to write.</p>
