I normally state the full name and if I need to use it a second time I put the abbreviation.
If you're filling out a questions specifically for that school, then yeah, the abbreviation works just fine.

Yes, abbreviating the school's name is perfectly okay.
Abbreviations are okay. Side note: some schools have preferences with how you address the school. NYU prefers to be called NYU Dentistry as opposed to NYUCD. Harvard prefers to be called HSDM as opposed to Harvard Dental.
Yah it's fine. It might be interesting for schools that are not as commonly known such as UK (Could be anything Kentucky, United Kingdom etc). My rule oof thumb is that if there's a common acronym the school uses, it's fine to use it (e.g. NYUCD).
NYU prefers to be called "NYU Dentistry." I have some connection to the school and received this email a few years ago."NYUCD" works perfectly fine but just thought I would share.

I read this and ended up changing my essay for NYU, thanks Harvard Student!
I didn't know about this change. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Do you know Dean Bertolami’s OBP at least?
