I think the schools I listed above would be realistic. Ga Tech would be a harder admit OOS than the others, but is close to the top nationally in computer and aerospace engineering (better than Penn).

Unless you really want to be in the Philadelphia area, Swarthmore and Haverford are liberal arts colleges and very different than Penn. You can’t expect to be spending much time at Penn instead of your own school. Drexel is a fine engineering school and borders on Penn’s campus but I just think that someone who had his heart set on Penn would feel disappointed going there instead. I’d look at other cities.
