I think that that’s an honest answer to an honest question!

The only thing to watch out for is trying to sell Penn back to the admissions officers. I think that you’re on safe ground if you talk about what you want and how you’ll use what Penn has to offer, but it will turn shaky if you start to get all teary-eyed about how spectacular Penn is and why it’s been your dream to study under Professor So-and-so.

Not saying you were going to write any of that^, just wanted to make sure you had a fair warning! Personally, I think that it sounds like you’re on the right track to a solid, fair answer.
