Congratulations on your achievements, certainly very impressive. I know you are looking for a probability of addmission but I don’t think anyone outside of the various colleges AO’s can accurately provide that. I can however provide some perspective.

These stats are for Brown class of 2018 (the last year this granularity was offered). Since then admissions have gotten even more selective with RD acceptance rate this year likely to be at or bellow 5%.

Valedictorian applicants 1,818 of which 328 accepted for a 18% acceptance rate
Salutatorian applicants 808 of which 112 accepted for a 13.9% acceptance rate
(I was told they had north of 2,500 valedictorians apply last year by a Brown employee but would not suggest it as fact given the off hand nature in which it was made).

These numbers don’t account for ED acceptances so the percentages are likely significantly lower in RD round. Given all things considered your chances are daunting just as they are for every highly qualified candidate. I believe this applies to all three of the schools you mention (although Cornell does have more seats to fill across various schools).

Good luck and don’t let your landing spot define you. Your ECs are amazing. My rationale side is detailed above, my gut sense tells me your application will resonate with someone at the Ivies. Fingers crossed and pulling for you.
