Is it wise to submit a personal statement without the general essay format since doing so would not enable me to fill the 2500 quota? I feel the essay itself is good and breaking any paragraphs would disrupt the flow. If you have some extra time and credentials and want to help me out, please message me so I can let you edit it. Much obliged.
 
You have to be either a VERY good author to make that much text flow well without paragraphs.
 
Paragraphs are essential.

Thanks for the advice. I do have paragraphs but instead of the standard three body paragraphs, I have two.

Humans get lost and lose interest reading large blocks of text. You don't want adcoms getting bored while reading your essay. I would just play it safe and break it into enough paragraphs.
