I have not seen any example essays do that.. Even chineseburned's..

Posted from my mobile device


well there are different writing styles and content is the thing that is most important. I used "I" on mine and i got 5.5s. I just felt reasonable to use "I" since I am the one writing the arguments and giving examples. you could try not use "I" - it is good either way if your essay itself is good.

It doesn't matter if you use "I".
