If you don’t get your test scores up you will not be a viable candidate for schools like Penn. It is hard to tell if it is a matter of grade inflation at your HS or poor taking on non-classroom tests. If it is the latter, you should try to figure out why you can do well on an in-class exam and not on an AP test (anxiety, preparation etc.).

Also if you can’t improve on your standardized tests, you should look into some of the many wonderful test optional schools. http://www.fairtest.org/university/optional/state
