I have a general question for Personal Statements' format?

<p>So I am writing a personal statement right now, and I wanted to know if they are supposed to be written in a sort of essay like format where I list the main topics of my body paragraphs in the intro or if I should have it free flowing but still organized? Help!</p>

<p>this is mainly just a guess, but i think as long as it has a focus and it’s well organized you don’t have to do the intro, body, and conclusion to the exact.</p>
