Upenn in my essay?

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm writing my Upenn essay. Do you think it would be alright if I called the University of Pennsylvania "UPenn" in my essay?</p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>Yes, but I’d call it Penn instead.</p>

<p>Exactly, if you call Penn “UPenn” that actually demonstrates a lack of knowledge about the uni. The University of Pennsylvania, in most university publications/institutions/programs and all around campus, is simply called Penn. For example, [Penn</a> Current](<a href=“http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/]Penn”>http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/), [Penn Museum](<a href=“http://www.penn.museum/”>Page Not Found | 404 - Penn Museum),[url=&lt;a href=“http://www.tedxpenn.com/]TEDxPenn[/url”&gt;http://www.tedxpenn.com/]TEDxPenn[/url</a>], [url=&lt;a href=“http://underthebutton.com/2010/10/penngineers-have-their-own-fall-fest/]Penngineering[/url”&gt;http://underthebutton.com/2010/10/penngineers-have-their-own-fall-fest/]Penngineering[/url</a>], etc.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s Penn, not UPenn</p>
