I summon pennquaker!
He claims only Penn is official and even though the domain is upenn.edu the school should NOT be referred to as UPenn...
HE would know wouldn´t he?

See, I think it SHOULD be UPenn, cause whenever I say Penn around where I am, people go "Penn State?" By saying UPenn, it is unambiguous.
But then again, that makes me seem like a snob 🙁
Lyrics from "It's All About The Benjamins" Notorious BIG & Puff Daddy
And I'm livin' that, whole life, we push weight (uh-huh)
F*ck the state pen, f*ck hoes at penn state (cmon)
Listen close it's francis, the praying mantis
Attack with the mac, my left hand spit, right hand
Grip on the whip, for the smooth getaway
Playa haters get away or my lead will spray
Squeeze off til' I'm empty, don't tempt me
Only, to hell I send thee, all about the benjis
Best post of the night. Did you google penn state or did you actually remember the lyrics?

wow this is the longest diversion ive ever seen from a rant of mine. And you are all incredible losers to debate this. Its obviously UPenn. Anything I say is the truth.
Au contraire, my friend, I think this thread just proves the awesomness of PENN (and SDN). Instead of sympathizing with some totally ridiculous and inconsequential run-in you had with Penn admissions office, everyone here managed to turn the thread into something hilarious (though, admittedly, equally inconsequential).
Here's a rant of my own: it's Penn, not UPenn.
End rant.
Penn State is one of the finest state school's in our state. I would say, without a doubt, top 2. That being said, don't knock it. No one calls Penn State, Penn. We either call it PSU or Penn State. "We are Penn State!""Penn" is a legitimate nickname but it could be mistaken for the crap school that is "Penn State,"- this is the reason why many also say UPenn just to make sure everyone knows they're referring to the Ivy League school.

their website says UPenn in several places
interesting to see how the initial conversation of venting turn into a discussion of Penn vs. UPenn.
Pronounced to rhyme with the school founder's name, Xenu.Dude, its obviously PennU

Edit: If anyone's going to be at Penn Relays this year, maybe I'll see you there.
I entered a lottery for tickets so we'll see....is it a lot of fun?
No one in the sports world is gonna call it "UPenn" just like no one is ever gonna call Pitt or Michigan "UPitt" or "UMich."
Nobody would call it "Mich" either. Although their website is www.umich.edu, whereas Pitt is just www.pitt.edu. And no one in the sports world talks about Penn much anyway 😀.
Regardless, the important thing to realize here is that it is most definitely THE Ohio State University 🙄.
I didn't go to Miami, I am not a fan of Miami, and I know they currently suck at football, but you're still a follower regardless.
I finally recieved my rejection letter from UPENN but I have to rant. I submitted my primary at the beginning of september. I never heard anything from UPENN about a secondary so I wrote it off. However, a week before the secondary deadline, I get a "reminder" email, telling me the secondary application is due in a week and to complete it asap. Well, I go to the login page to complete it asap and the login info they give me doesnt work. I tried again and again and I never could login, even after resetting the password twice. So I called the office and they told me their was a glitch in their computer system and they were working to fix it and would email me when I could login. Well it wasnt fixed until after the deadline so I got an extension to send in my app until 2 weeks after the deadline.
I got suspicious at this point because I felt that they would simply toss my secondary app out and pocket the money. I emailed them asking about this possibility but recieved on reply. I decided to hell with it and sent in the app if there was any chance at all of getting an interview. Now here I am, 5 months later and the only thing Ive heard is this rejection. Sorry just gotta vent the nerve they had in having me apply with no chance at all haha.
Me? Apparently the sarcasm wasn't laid on quick thick enough. I have absolutely no affiliation with OSU, or tOSU, or whatever the heck it is, outside of once dating a girl who went to Michigan and had some not-so-nice things to say about it. It just makes me roll my eyes when they do the video intros during NFL games. Clearly my own The Tufts University was the first to ever think of using the word The.
