Should I apply early action?

Agree with the above comment. Your SAT does not make you a competitive candidate for the schools on your list. You should google the class profile or common data set for each school to see if your academic stats are competitive for admissions.

Also it is imperative that you look carefully at the schools websites and take the time to read and understand the admission plan options at each university. I am fairly sure that Penn and Lehigh only offer ED (early decision) plans in which case you can only apply to one and it is binding.

But to answer your question, if you are accepted at a university EA (non-binding early action) you may apply elsewhere. That would not be the case for a binding ED school.
