<p>Can I abbreviate the Museum of Modern Art? Because writing MoMA would put me just under the character limit and it would help me a ton. NYU admissions officers would surely know what the MoMA is?</p>
<p>My advice: spell it out the first time like so: Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and then just use MoMA for the rest of the time. That way you can be sure they know what you’re talking about.</p>
