<p>So, in my essay I kept on using UPenn, is that ok?</p>

2

<p>NO! Just kidding. For character-saving reasons (word count) then sure. Otherwise, I would spell it out.</p>

3

<p>In my essay I just wrote “Penn” instead of UPenn. That’s what they call themselves so they’d understand it and it would be fine</p>

4

<p>Put Penn instead of UPenn.</p>

5

<p>@Rain202 why would you spell it out… Penn is the way to go</p>

6

<p>Well, I already submitted my essay and I just realized that they use Penn moreso than UPenn, so will this have a pejorative effect on my application in anyway?</p>

<p>^ Yes, you will be rejected for using UPenn instead of Penn. </p>

<p>It just shows a lack of familiarity with the school, but it isn’t a big deal.</p>

<p>Nobody cares if you say Penn or UPenn. I used “UPenn” in my essays and honestly it just isn’t important at all.</p>
