Penn and UConn will be out of state for you and for engineering, I still think that they would be matches, not safeties.

U of Akron, Cincinnati, Clarkson - those would be safety schools.

The reality is you have a disconnect between your GPA and your test scores. It makes it more complicated to predict acceptances. My daughter had a friend in a similar position - slightly higher SAT than you and similar GPA. He had a very tough go round with acceptances because he aimed for where his SAT was average, and not his GPA. IMO, you need to focus more on your safeties and match schools.
