Do you think I could be considered?

Hey, I am new to college confidential and am wondering if you guys think I have a shot at being admitted to Cornell. I don’t have the most AP’s and Honor’s courses as most applications, but my SAT and life labor throughout high school might make up for it?
Anyways, here is what I am looking at:
SAT
730 Math
780 CR
710 Writing
ACT
32
Unweighted GPA: 3.5
Weighted: 3.9
I am currently taking 6 AP’s as a senior in high school, I will explain a bit later why I am taking 6 this year.
AP Stat
AP Psych
Ap Econ
AP Bio
AP Calc AB
I am taking AP Lit online because I don’t have room in my schedule for it during school.
Since Freshman year, I started an Invisible Children’s club and raised over $5,000 USD for children in Uganda. I also have worked full time since freshman year, which is the reason for my lower GPA/no Honors courses. I also have done volunteer work for four years at Hospitals and Charity centers in Atlanta. Is it even worth me applying? Or should I just stay in state?
