You can’t get in-state tuition in CA just because you have family there. You may be able to save on housing if you can live with them (not sure if any UCs require frosh to live on campus), but you would pay OOS tuition all 4 years. Assuming you mean UPenn (the Ivy), that is going to be a reach for you given your SAT. If you mean Penn State, their financial aid is poor even for in-state students, and you would get none.

You should run the net price calculator on the website of each college you are interested in,
