Is it OK to use bullet points in the statement of purpose for graduate school applications? Is it OK to use bullet points in the statement of purpose for graduate school applications?

I'm applying for a PhD program in physical science. I want to organize some information in a bullet points form. However, I didn't see this done in any of the statements that I have seen online.
Both Buffy and JoshuaZ raise valid points:


One of the things that [some] reviewers will be looking for...is your basic writing ability.
The reaction [to bullet points] seemed to be all over the place. One person thought bullet points stood out and were great. Another considered it to be unprofessional.


I'll add: Used well, bullet points can convey your message succinctly, which is a skill reviews are looking for. Used badly, they suggest a poor writing style. You, yourself, can perhaps determine whether bullet points are working. Give it a try. You can also ask people what they think.
