Looks like you have a much more realistic shot at getting in to Penn.

The only problem, I've been waitlisted at Chicago, and have yet to here from Penn. If I don't get into Penn, which should I apply early to next year? I'd rather be in Chicago for what it's worth. Do I have a shot getting in early?

174, 3.43, non-URM, regular softs

Thanks!
First thing you need to do is to write a LOCI to UChicago explaining that your SO will be in TFA in Chicago and therefore it is your #1 school and you will matriculate if offered admission. This is important for them to know, as it is a circumstance that is unusual and may cause the Dean to me more lenient on your application. Do this for UPenn as well if you are waitlisted (Although I wouldn't say both are your #1).

ED Chicago????
You're numbers show a good chance with ED.

Honestly, I think you're in at Penn this year. But if for some reason you aren't, ED Chicago next year if that's what you want.

I was waitlisted at Chicago ED, so if you're looking for a sure thing, go with Penn
