<p>Okay so I’ve narrowed it down to what I’m going to write about. I’m writing about the beginning of my college experience. My question is should I write down UPenn as the college I got into or does that sound too cockey. I was thinking of leaving it as just college but does that show I’m not very confident? What did you guys do or would suggest?</p>

<p>I think you should leave it just as college, not upenn...</p>

<p>In my essay, I wrote that I went to Penn.</p>

<p>Write that you got in to UPenn, because they want to know that you really want to go there (even though it may seem a little presumptuous and boa****l, it's ok.)</p>

<p>Wow, this forum is retarded. You can't even write a word that contains the letters "s t f u".</p>

<p>In any case, use "Penn", or University of Pennsylvania not UPenn! There was a big thread about this within the last couple of months. In an interview, the dean of admissions even made a point of requesting that people refer to the school as Penn.</p>

<p>Thanks for clearing that up for me guys. I guess it does make a little more sense to write about getting into Penn.</p>

<p>Oh and thanks for the heads up collegecountdown. I have to go back and fix that on my essays.</p>

<p>I think i used the word UPenn in my essays...oops...but now that i think about it, i never see upenn on any penn websites and upenn just doesnt sound as good as "penn"</p>

<p>Okay I've finally started my essay and I'm stuck. I think I have writer's block or something. Would someone read what I have so far and give me ideas about what I should add?</p>

<p>Sure, I'll read them, just send me a PM.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the comments on my essay. I've changed a few things around and I'm going to do a last read over and then turn it in.</p>
