One of my friends, an assistant to the Director of Admissions at a graduate school, recently shared with me this:

"[S]miley faces have their appropriate settings: text messages between friends, on a child's spelling test, and even from the greeter at Wal-mart. An example of an inappropriate setting might be, let's say, on a personal autobiography statement for your grad school application. Especially in lieu of appropriate sentence endings (i.e. a period)."

There are plenty of qualified applicants out there, and the folks who read applications are pretty much searching for a reason not to read further.  Try not to give them one, or at least not one so obvious :)
