I think you will probably get in. I don't know for sure, but I think your chances are good. I definitely think you'll get into those other schools you are applying to (except the ones in the UK because I don't know anything about those)

NYU Gallatin: Match
GWU: High match
Northeastern: Low match
Fordham: Safety
Pace: Safety

UCL, ICL, Oxford and Cambridge have nearly the same status as the Ivy League (because international status might play against you at these 4 schools), so they're highly selective. But you might have a chance for the other 4 British schools mentioned.
