Will you apply ED?

If you don't, you seem like a qualified applicant that has maybe a decent shot. Still if you were rejected I wouldn't be too surprised. Good luck. (40% in I'd say - random guesstimate)

many students with higher numbers apply to Penn. You would have a better chance if you were a legacy, private school student, student with a parent capable of writing a big donation to Penn or member of a minority. That is how the school operates. Living on the West Coast may help.

Don't forget to check how many students they admit approx. from your state (it's on their website). That's roughly the same amount annually. Ex. IL gets around 50 students rep. each year..idk what it is for WA.
