I have to say that UCLA is out of reach, even if you raise your SAT scores. Look at their admission statistics: they are exceedingly competitive. The same is probably true for USC. Will you need financial aid? If so, Temple is probably a pretty good school for you, as a public university. Penn State and Pitt might be moderate reaches. If you’re not applying to Engineering school, Drexel might be possible academically, but it is very expensive. Other Penn State campuses would be match or safe schools for you. If your parents are willing to pay full, private tuitions, then you have many options. What are your academic interests? You seem to prefer large universities: what about some other, less selective, state universities? DePaul is a large private university in a big city - it is probably a match for you.
