Word limits are word limits. The supplement says “50 words or fewer.” The typical reaction would be to, you know, write 50 words or fewer.

Honestly, here’s how your question reads to me: “I don’t want this word limit, which is there to make the application process uniform, to apply to me. So, is it okay if I try to cheat the word limit by sending my application in a way that makes it more difficult to detect said cheating?”

Some courts require that litigants swear under penalty of perjury that they have followed formatting requirements, and I always found it so odd that that would be remotely necessary. But your question suggests that maybe college applications should follow suit.
