Sorry, but there is no way of knowing with accuracy. No school has absolute standards for admission, and whether you get in or not depends strongly on who else applies at the same time. They could probably tell you if you don't stand a chance of getting in, but not "with accuracy" whether you could get in.
The one thing which may help a little is www.collegeboard.com, which has a "college matchmaker" feature. You can put in Cornell University and get some basic information. Just to start, it says that they take 25% of applicants, that the middle 50% of their students have a score of 620-730 on their SAT critical reading score and 660-760 on the math, or an ACT between 28 and 32. It also lists the factors they consider "very important" for admissions.

Call Cornell and ask to speak with someone in admissions. They should be able to tell you what all you will need to do and like what scores to have on tests like ACT and so on. They can also give you an idea as to what your GPA will need to be and may even be able to send you information about the school and the types of programs you would be interested in. Good Luck!! :)

Cornell is the only place that will be able to give you 100% accuracy on admission possibilities.

Everyone has a chance of getting into a college. Unfortunately, there are very few people who can tell with certainty if you will get in.
