Is it okay to put curse words in your Personal Statement?

[namesjoshua0304]

Hey!

I was just wondering if ya'll think it is okay/ if you have ever put curse words in your Personal Statement if the context was right. Like if you were quoting someone else or something like that.

Thanks!

I swear these threads get better every day.

I wouldn't do this. The way I see it, because it is unprofessional to swear in a professional setting, you shouldn't swear in a piece of writing that is akin to part of a job interview.

A lot of adcoms recommend their applicants doing this, because it's right in our constitution: freedom of speech and all that.

I told the haters I wanted to be a dentist.
They said, "**** that ****. You'll never make it"
But here I am, applying to dental school. I'll be damned if the haters bring me down. Go to hell, haters.


You know, I was going to say don't put in curse words. But now I think you should. I'd enjoy a PS with curse words, but I guess I'm no adcom.

Don't forget to tell that b!tch@$$ dean that they better accept you.

Bo, please just write it and post it here, I need a good laugh. Seriously though, I can't think of many situations that it would be at all appropriate.

Your application will certainly stand out if that is what you are going for. Diversity, am I right?

I can't even...

If you can't even, have you try to be odd?

Studies show that applicants who swear in their applications portray a sense of fearlessness in the face of professionalism, which even the most prestigious of dental schools find impressive.
