Absent more information – looks like a bit of a reach.

SATs are a bit low, and your class rank is somewhat low for Cornell. Upward trend in grades could be a help.

If it’s absolutely your first choice, then why not go for it. As you say you have lots of other safeties and matches – you have nothing to lose.

BUT – I wouldn’t wait until you hear from Cornell to apply ESPECIALLY if your other schools offer early action. At least get the apps done early, so you’re ready. Also, rumor is that for some schools it’s easier to get in the earlier you apply – so, why risk it.
