UCAS personal statement lines

Hi, just about to send my personal statement off and the lines thing is stressing me out. Do you have to put a new sentence on a new line as in does it have to be for every line. Or can two sentences be on the same line when one is cut off if you get me? HELP!

Two sentences can be on one line. I needed to compress my personal statement to reduce the characters so I squished it together. Sometimes I had two sentences in one line and there was no problem as I used the proper punctuation. Universities know that you’re only given a small amount of characters and space so they’re not critical.
You only need to press return when you’re starting a new paragraph, not for each sentence.
