Here’s the essay prompt for a summer program I’m applying to:

Biographical Essay: Please attach a biographical essay that addresses the following information:
• Brief personal and family history
• Educational background (your academic strengths and weaknesses)
• Specific scientific interests
• Reasons for attending SSI and what you wish to accomplish
• Your future educational goals
• Any extracurricular activities

I’m not quite sure how I’m supposed to write this… Since there are so many things I need to address, are the admissions people more looking for content than the quality of the writing? Because typically for an essay, I’d tell a story that addresses the prompt and do self reflection and such, but this prompt is just all over the place…
What do you guys suggest I do?
