<p>Are all college essays, no matter the length of it, supposed to have at least 1 paragraph? Are intro paragraphs and conclusions needed?</p>
<p>There is not a set format for a college admission essay. Many people do end up using numerous paragraphs to separate ideas more that anything else (makes the writing less confusing and rushed). As for the intro and conclusion, use your own judgement. One important aspect of your essay that has to be present is a beginning middle and end (why often times an intro and conclusion are added). If your specific essay needs it than go ahead but at the same time be mindful of the word limit and concise.</p>
