Is it risky to be a little lighthearted?

<p>Is it risky to be a little lighthearted while not losing any substance? Even in the ECA list? Essays?</p>

<p>I’m pretty much always like that, but I was wondering if it is risky to do that in the application…?</p>

<p>What do you mean by lighthearted? I think it’s always good to be humble, but try not to look like a loser either. Nobody likes show offs, so yeah, try to be a little lighthearted without losing any substance like you said.</p>

<p>what do you mean exactly by light hearted? its fine if you aren’t completely rigid and formal, but you can’t be too informal either. what would be an example of you writing out an EC in a light hearted way?</p>
