Yep, contractions in formal writing are bad. Also, project more confidence. Enough with the "I believe", "I feel", "I think", etc. stuff. Like everyone else said, talk about your accomplishments and provide evidence to back them up.
On a side note, what the fuck is the point of those things anyway? How about "I want to pay this institution so I can attend its classes" for a personal statement? I don't have to write a persuasive essay to Wal-Mart explaining why they should sell me a case of motor oil..
