Transfer from CC

I'm currently a sophomore in a cc in CT.
My GPA is 3.97 (I'm taking a lot of science and math classes since my major is Biology).
My SAT score is 2200.
I don't have many extracurricular activities since I don't have much time because I volunteer for about 30hrs/week to the Brazilian community as an English teacher/Translator.
Do I have any chances of getting into Amherst, Dartmouth, Middlebury or Cornell?
I know they are top schools, 2 of them being in the Ivy League but there aren't many other schools that give financial aid to international students.
I really want to graduate in the US. It was always my dream. I learned English pretty much by myself. I've even got into the last level of ESL in the college (all the international students that I know had to take at least 3 levels).
I've moved here 2 years ago as an Au Pair, lived through hell just to have an opportunity to go to college here. My parents never went to college. I would be the first one in the family to go.
This is really important to me.

All of your colleges are very selective, and particularly A,D & M take very few transfers each year (a couple of years ago, M didn't even accept transfer applications). As long as you have some match and safety schools, it's fine to try for some selective reaches. But if this is your complete list, it's very risky that you won't have a school to attend next year.
