Question: for the first two short(er) answer questions (the one about how does UChicago satisfy your need & tell about favorite books/music, etc.) I know it says write 1-2 paragraphs but...

I wrote on the first prompt and I got out what I wanted to say, but for it to really flow logically it had to be 3 paragraphs (a total of 400 words), and now the 2nd is turning out to be 3 paragraphs as well. Do you think that's appropriate (given UChicago's prior history of not necessarily following conventions re: essays) or should I stick to two?

THANKS
