About to submit, quick Personal Statement question

Searched and didn't find an answer already posted so here it is:

Personal Statement is ready to go, at 5,299 characters by AMCAS count. However, I had to condense the original 4 paragraphs into one really long one to make the character count cut. Is this a no go? Should I keep it in paragraph form? I honestly hate the idea of not separating paragraphs but I'm not having much luck getting it short enough any other way

You can find another word or two to cut. Find a way to keep the paragraphs.

I'm 5 characters over the limit with 4 separate paragraphs

Thanks, that's what I thought. Guess my fatigue was trying to talk me into cutting corners
