<p>1) For my "Why Chicago" essay, would it be too unorthodoxed if it was a list begining with the phrase "I want"? I have thought about different ways to go by writing my Why Chicago essay, but my mind always comes back to that idea. Has anyone else tried this?</p>
<p>2) How script-like should my Question 4 essay be? I want to make it as authentic as possible, but would that kill the essay part of the writing?</p>
<p>I think both of your formatting ideas sound effective and will help you get your thoughts across. The added bonus for you is that your writing will be in smaller paragraphs with more white space-- easier for the adcoms to read.</p>
