I think pretty much all the schools you listed are a total match. Penn State would be the toughest but I wouldn’t worry about it.

For international students, UT Austin would definitely be a reach. There are not much spots left after auto-admission for top in state students. Even in state students with your stat but under the top 8% would have a hard time to get in. Purdue should be a match to high match depending on how they view your GPA.
