Swearing in your essays.

I’m considering using some profanity in my college essays, maybe even an essay based on the concept and use of swear words. It’s risky, but I’m a risky writer, but would this be too controversial or would put off universities? Just to clarify, I don’t mean swearing casually (I ******* LOVE HARVARD) or something like that, but as a start point to grab attention or as an essay topic. I don’t know, I like to stand out :)

Anyway, any input would be appreciated!
