You’re good everywhere and fine school list. Just ride the wave and you’ll get into one of those schools.

Thanks for the replies, thought my gpa would drag me down a bit but now I'm relieved somewhat. Thinking of sending my app sometime in before July.

You're golden. Send a well-vetted and completed application as soon as you can. Let your contacts at Rutgers and Penn's programs know you're applying.
