The secondary for MSUCOM ask us to write:

Describe in two to three paragraphs how you learned about the osteopathic profession and why you feel the profession is a good fit for you. (500 words)

Is it a requirement to limit myself to 2 or 3 paragraphs? I meet the word count, but I want to make a few different points, and it makes way more sense to split up the points by paragraph rather than mushing the points all together. Right now I have 6 paragraphs, and it is much better writing form. Is it s risk to submit it with more than 3 paragraphs?
