Is there anything wrong with calling a school by its shorthand in Secondaries?

[deleted1027718]

So I noticed that for some of my secondaries (already submitted), I refer to them by shorthands

such as: UPSOM (university of Pittsburgh school of medicine) as "Pittsburgh", and Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University as "Stony Brook"
As in the "X program at Stony Brook", "Pittsburgh's devotion to X and Y"


Is that.... okay?

Sounds fine. Stop reading your secondaries that have already been submitted. You'll sleep better and sleep is important.

I appreciate you LizzyM, will take your advice

As long as your abbreviation or shorthand is understandable to mean the school the secondary is being written for. I think calling the school by the wrong name would be harder to overlook. (Especially if you’re doing any copy and paste).

Oh no I did not call it the wrong school, and yes it should be clear that the shorthand refers to the school!

I’m sure it is fine. I see many schools refer to the schools in their abbreviated forms within their secondary prompts. I usually will use the full name of the school once and then abbreviate the schools’ names when I refer to them subsequently.
