You have a very good chance, try to make ur essay how ur a female and want to persue engineering and willingness to travel across the country and high interest in these university.

You have a good chance but it will ultimately come down to your essay and recs. Your essay will be the first thing they pick up since ur international applicant.

I think you SAT I score will be your setback just because those school are very competitive. But your EC's will definitely help.

Why don't you retake the SAT again and apply to other schools RD? Just to be safe.

Cornell: Reach
GA Tech: Safety (because you used EA wisely)
UMI: Low match
CMU: Reach

Try Virginia Tech or Michigan Tech also...

I don't think Cornell will put that much attention on CR if you're applying to electrical engineering; then you have a chance.
