General Should I use "Him/Her" or "They/Their" in my application essays?

[gyngyn]

Hello!

I'm wondering if it's better to use him/her or their in secondary applications.

Him/her hints at a gender binary and can be exclusive, but I'm also worried that their may be taken as grammatically incorrect.

Thoughts?

They/their/theirs has always been grammatically correct.
Choose what is most comfortable for you.
