<p>You have good chance at most of these schools if you write a good essay, showing exactly why and what motivated the boost in your GPA. Who knows you may get into UPENN as well. Schools sometimes accept students who are underqualified and reject those that are overquailified.</p>

<p>If you're applying to PSU, you should try getting into Schreyer Honors College (seperate application). Your GPA is a little low but your SATS and ECs are great. You get a scholarship ($3500) plus access to smaller classes with top professors, better living quarters, early registration, and more. It requires essays and recs but it's worth a try!</p>

<p>as lone as you have good essays and recs, you should be fine!</p>
