My son, who is applying to UC’s, is asking a question:
In UC application essay questions, is the use of “eye-catching” dialogues to make an opening statement a good idea or is it better to use the limited space to write more personal facts about oneself? What is meant by dialogue is a conversation that makes the essay “eye-catching”. I believe many high school teachers and counselors recommend the use of dialogue, but is this really necessary?
Someone had mentioned that it is better to use the limited space for more personal facts. Any comments or opinions?
Thanks.
