FTR, for Penn State, 2/3 decision = GPA×rigor. I was asked to your thread and spent quite a bit of time explaining exactly what you can do to increase your odds of being admitted to University Park vs. Abington, if that’s what you want. I briefly listed the key benefits of each option. (Even if you already submitted your app, you can still modify some things like alternate campus, major, fall/summer).
Unfortunately, a nice essay and good activities won’t tip the scales if you want UP (they’re only considered for borderline candidates) but you can consider Abington a safety. 
Has your STARS/SRAR been received&processed?
What does your list look like now?
What do you think of the list in post 47?
U Cincinnati, SUNY Albany, SUNY New Paltz would all be good additions. Have you been able to explore their website? Are you considering applying? (SUNY applications are free this week.)
