Statistically your ED odds at Penn are much better than your early odds at Princeton, where you most likely would be deferred and then rejected.
@db8islife while I agree with @sherpa I think you have a good chance (meaning the 5% chance well-qualified students have). SCEA increases this a bit.
Besides the good scores, course rigor / GPA, and some good ECs (IMO you have spread yourself thin, doing too many things, perhaps showing lack of focus) you might be an interesting diversity case, a white upper-middle conservative, which is becoming somewhat rare at Princeton.
If Princeton is number one on your list, follow your dreams. Then apply RD at Penn. And then have some good matches and safeties.
