Pennsylvania State University or Penn State?

<p>I'm writing an essay for Penn State and I used their official name at the very beginning of the essay. I was wondering if I should end off with using their full name or just use Penn State for short? Would the admission officers care, or does that look unprofessional? </p>

<p>It is honestly fine to refer to it as Penn State. That is not something I would stress over. It is like writing an English essay where you say “Earnest Hemingway” in the beginning and in the rest of the essay say Hemingway, that’s perfectly ok. Honestly, I don’t think they would mind if you even started saying Penn State at the beginning of the essay. Like I said, not something to stress over</p>

<p>Thank you! </p>
