Do I need an intro or conclusion?

<p>I’m doing the NYU supplement, and I feel like my essay is better off without an intro/conclusion (I just answered each question in a paragraph but made it look like an essay). So is an intro or conclusion necessary or recommended? Heres the specific prompt:</p>

<p>NYU’s global network of campuses, schools, colleges, and programs, provides an unrivaled urban university experience to cultivate our students’ intellectual curiosity and to help them achieve their future career goals. </p>

<p>In evaluating your candidacy for admission, we are interested in making the best match possible with all that NYU has to offer. As a result, we are curious to learn about your academic and personal interests and how those interests relate to what we offer in the idea capitals of the world in which NYU campuses are located.
Please address, in your essay response, the following:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Given your NYU campuses of interest - whether they are your primary and alternate home campuses of interest or where you would like to study away while you are a student - where, exactly, would you like to study at NYU - and why?</p></li>
<li><p>Whether you are undecided or you have a definitive plan of study in mind, what are your academic interests and how do you plan to explore them at NYU?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>You may have one or many campuses, schools, colleges, programs, and/or areas of interest, so please elaborate on your interests.</p>

<p>If there is a word limit that you are close to, then no you don’t need an intro or conclusion. No fluff is required in this type of an essay.
However, if you do have room to add an intro or conclusion, I would suggest doing so. Better to be safe than sorry!</p>

<p>I say if you feel you essays are stronger without the intro/conclusion then forget them as I am sure they are not truly needed.</p>
