Oh by the way, to the OP, which college are you applying for?

Since you’re “financially capable”, I am assuming you aren’t applying for aid. It really depends on which college you’re applying for. I mean… for engineering it is more self-selective. If you have the stats you’re in. I actually think you have a great shot. Cornell does not look at your writing section (according to some senior members on this forum, to my surprise but nonetheless). This means that your overall SAT score is 1320. That is actually not bad. It is within Cornell’s range.

In addition your TOEFL I think, is enough to override that Reasoning score. I would however, boost your SAT Chemistry score. It is too low. And it makes your International Chemistry Olympiad seems fluff and useless. It will come down, really, to your essays.

Your SAT II Math is not superb, but not bad. I have to know your prospective college before giving you a definitive answer though, and even my definitive answer is not definitive. XD
