Question about Short Answer on CommonApp

Applying to College
1

<p>As you all know the short answer section on the CommonApp gives you 1000 CHARACTERS. In order to save space, should I not break up my response into paragraphs? Or should I be grammatically correct and break my response into 2-3 paragraphs?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>spacing between paragraphs won’t use up that many characters. i have two paragraphs in my short answer and i only used 2 characters by hitting ENTER twice. hope that makes sense lol</p>
