Arrogance on essays

So my hook is basically “I’m good at math” and I do distance learning courses and such. I’ve been told that the essay is one of the few times you really get to pat yourself on the back and try and show off for the colleges. But my essay is roughly me talking about how great I am for 500 words. Is it possible to be TOO self-aggrandizing on these essays?
