Should I include a little jargon in my college admissions essay?

What is your purpose in using this introduction ?

Coding jargon may be exciting to you and may grab your attention, but it is disorienting for most readers.

In my opinion, this opening is not enough to intrigue, interest, or excite most readers.

Can it work ? Can such an opening be effective at drawing in readers’ attention ? While possible, it does not seem likely.
