<p>Is there anything wrong with it? I'm writing my commonapp essay on why I love baseball and I think it would sound weird if it was in third person. Is there any negative stigma attached to writing in second person?</p>
<p>Do you mean writing in first person? I think second person would be weird, and third person is also unexpected. First person is generally what applicants use, because you are writing about yourself…</p>
<p>If you are a really good writer, you can get away with anything.</p>
<p>No it’s second person. I’m using you instead of one.</p>
<p>then I agree with lookbeyond, it’s all about how you do it</p>
