You will certainly get into some good university. You have a shot at Cornell. But it is no sure thing. Cornell rejects more qualified students than they accept.
The only places where you are not absolutely solid are your test scores. Somewhere between 75-80% of those who are accepted to Cornell have higher scores. Don't be too discouraged by this -- because you have excellent scores that are only a little below the average Cornell student.
In order to get in, you will need a great interview and a killer admissions essay.
Good luck.

They took me and even gave me a degree. My credentials weren't as good as yours. Write a good application and have the best references you can get.
