UCAS Personal Statement Paragraph Breaks

Do you need spaces between paragraphs for your UCAS personal statement?? I getting too many mixed opinions with some saying it looks unprofessional and others saying it ends up getting formatted as one big block anyways so you’re only wasting lines as the admission teachers are used to it.

With line breaks I am on 47/47 lines but I had to cut out quite a lot of detail

Without line breaks it would be 40/47 and I could add back what I took out


What should I dooo
If my paragraphs are clear would I in any way be disadvantaged for not having spaces
i didn't use line breaks on my personal statement because of the word limit and still got offers from all the universities i applied to, just saying.
