UPenn is fine. The school refers to itself as UPenn in the application.

As a general rule, it’s okay to refer to the school by the same abbreviation the school uses to refer to itself.

Can you refer to a prestigious Ivy league college using the abbreviated name of a large state university in the same state, particularly one that is still working its way through a huge child sex abuse scandal? Not so much. If I did, I would work.
