Too similar to those “grocery list” resume… I’d definitely not recommend applying ED to UPenn. Without the legacy or child-of-faculty-or-staff status UPenn would be quick to defer or reject laundry-list type people. Princeton would likely reject too.

Not bothering to look at stuff in Freshmen year is no excuse. That will make it look more like you were boasting on the bunch of legacy status your parents gave you.

Your grades are not spectacular but show a trend of improvement, so that’s a plus.
Your test scores aren’t greatest in the world…

I’d say Cornell ED would be the best shot. Yale… maybe.
