Sounds like you have a strong application. Your chances of getting into these schools is good, but it all depends on what exactly the admission board is looking for. Based solely on the information you've given us I'd say you've got a good shot! Good luck!

You can find your own answer to this question. In general, colleges and universities publish statistics on their website. This is usually in the form of a report that the college or university creates for accreditation purposes. They will include statistics about the SAT scores of incoming freshman from the previous year. Then you'll be able to see where your scores fall in relation to last year's group. Just google the university's website. Have fun!

Go to TCNJ! I'm a student there and LOVE it. There's some pretty dumb administrative policies, but the students are nice and down-to earth. It's like the little school that could. I recommend it to anyone. :-) And yeah, you'll get in with those credentials.
Good luck with the college stuff!

a very reasonable list. and what is more impressive than all your stats is that you took the time to use proper spelling and grammar in phrasing your question, which puts you ahead of about 95% of those on yahoo answers.
i wouldn't expect you to get into all of them (cornell, BC, and NYU are your reaches, right?), but i'd be very surprised if you didn't get into any.
i wish you the best of luck.

If you really want to know your chances of getting in to any of these schools, contact an admissions representative or recruiter. They are supposed to help people understand the selection process, and are generally upfront with students about their chances.

You're a good candidate.
A couple of the universities you mentioned have limited enrollment, and can't take everyone, no matter how good. So, don't feel bad if you don't get admission to all of your choices.
