I didn't write it as a letter, more like a conversation.

i'm just asking this because the instructions are kinda vague, especially when compared to previous years' roommate prompt.

I wrote it as a letter and got in. I even made it really informal (I started out with "Hey Roomie")

Really, everyone who has questions on the roommate essay, just search the forum. It's been discussed to death.

And yes, you can.
