<p>“Can” you? Meaning, do you have the ability? You know that better than any of us, right?</p>

<p>Should you? Well maybe put together a list of pros and cons. Here are some possibilities:</p>

<p>Pros:</p>

<p>-Saves time not having to write complete sentences
-Avoids work in transitioning among thoughts
-Hides possible weaknesses in composition ability
-Maximizes opportunity to list facts</p>

<p>Cons:</p>

<p>-Eliminates the opportunity to showcase writing skill
-Limits the ability to express emotion, feeling and passion</p>

<p>I am sure others can add both pros and cons to help you make your decision about whether you “should” submit your essay material in bullet point format</p>

<p>You CAN. I would absolutely not recommend it. It suggests that you were not willing to put in the effort to write full sentences.</p>
