<p>I am writing an essay with a 500 word limit and really feelin' the crunch as I cut down my sentences. I was wondering, is it okay to use contractions in a college essay in order to reduce my word count? I've heard that it is informal or whatever, but are college adcoms gonna be so picky as to be swayed by grammatical subtleties?</p>
<p>the request of 500 word-limit, is actually, as approximately one A4 page. You really needn't to cut it down nor could you use contractions in yours. moreover, the college adcoms doesn't have enough time to count thousand of essay each day, so that, only thing you just concentrate on is that making your sentence impressive then they will be attracted and forget to take notice of that over word-limited essay.
hope my words useful for you,friend.</p>
