bj89 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Would you guys say that it would acceptable to use an acronym in the personal statement, as long we initially define it (i.e. write out the full name the first time followed by the acronym in brackets, then use the acronym afterwards? thanks!

drhm Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I did that for a really long student group I was involved with and I was fine! I'd say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 yea, that's fine, just as it is in any professional piece of writing. i think writing out a 4+ word name multiple time would be really distracting anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
