Common App - Additional Information: essay or bullet points?

<p>In the common app, is it better to use it for an essay or bullet points? It says you can enter up to 650 words which sounds like it would be more like an essay, but I’ve heard a lot of different things and don’t know which is preferred.</p>

<p>You can use either- its not supposed to be an essay though, but you can use paragraph form. Basically complete sentences or bullets are fine. I used complete sentences last year.</p>
