word choice - Can I use idioms in my personal statement?


I was wondering if I can use expressions such as "I was flooded with ideas", "It would get me closer towards my desired career" or "it worked like a charm" in my personal statement as it is considered to be formal.


Should I avoid using these kind of expressions and how could I change them to suit the style?


Thank you for your time.


P.S. The personal statement is for a university.
