i know everyone does this, but chance me please?

i'm going to be a senior in high school this fall, and i know that my test scores and whatnot aren't amazing, but i'd like to know what you think anyway.

SAT: 1900 (essay 12)
ACT: 28 (essay 10)
GPA: 3.49 unweighted, and my school doesn't calculate weighted but i know it's between 3.9 and 4.1
my school doesn't do class rank
SAT II's: english lit - 620, math I - 650
i've taken 2 AP classes so far, taking 2 more senior year. also i've taken 6 honors classes, taking 1 more senior year.
i want to study psychology in college so i'm taking AP psych this coming year, along with AP stat.
AP exam for APUSH - 3, for english lit - 3

extra curricular:
11 years of piano
11 years of private singing lessons
9 years of language school for bangla and arabic (and i can speak 5 languages, those two, english obviously, and spanish surprisingly fluently)
7 years of soccer (traveling team for town, i know i should have tried out for the school team but i was so lazy :/ )
472 hours of community service at this point. i have a lot more i'm doing this summer, so that'll probably be up to 500 before senior year starts.
founder of the youth chapter of the bangladesh environment network in massachusetts, have hosted many events and charities. it's been about 6 months since i started it, and we've raised about $4,000 so far for environmental relief in bangladesh.
in terms of clubs at school, i'm in the outreach club and for senior year, i've joined the school magazine.

recommendation letters i know are going to be really good, and my essay is really good as well, i've been meeting with my old english teacher throughout the summer to work on it with her. english has always been my strongest class so i'm not very worried about my essay.

please let me know what you honestly think, i want to know what my chances are so that i don't waste my time on a school that may not want me. cornell is one of my dream schools, so i'd really appreciate any input i get. thanks so much

It will be a tough one. But it isn't impossible for Cornell. My feeling is that if u get a decent essay in explaining your lower scores, then your shot to Cornell isn't too bad. Apply ED to be safe.
