I'd keep it consistent to be on the safe side.

Yeah, I'd go with American english and keep it consistent.

Honestly, it would look more "phony" to read an American essay to an American school with British spelling, y'know? It makes me think of people who come back from an extended period of time somewhere (the south, midwest, etc) and all of a sudden they have an accent haha. It's happened to me, I know. Is it technically wrong? No. But it might leave an odd taste in the Adcom's mouth.

If you're applying to American schools, you should be consistently using American english

Ha! My friend studied abroad and definitely came back with a bit of an accent LMAO

But, yeah, I agree with your assessment of it coming across as possibly "phony."

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to change my spelling at the end.

The fact that this even matters is depressing.
