essay in list format? risky?

<p>for rpi's 2nd application for the 7-year accelerated med program (the albany medical school application) they ask for two essays:</p>

<p>The Accelerated Physician-Scientist Program educates future physicians to be research- scientist physicians. Please state why you are applying to this program and what uniquely qualifies you for the special focus of this program?
(1,500-character limit, including punctuation and spacing)
***AND
Describe yourself (other than scholastic achievements).
(1,000 character limit, including punctuation and spacing)</p>

<p>(both supposed to be written in 1 week)</p>

<p>for the first essay, i wrote in essay format. but for the 2nd essay, i really want to write in a list format because i feel it will describe me that way the best (i really do enjoy writing lists, anyways).</p>

<p>is this too risky? .. i mean, i can make the list clever.</p>

<p>no lie. i was thinking of doin the exact same thing. Anybody else have an opinion? Its due tomorrow</p>
