It is close to impossible to predict. However, Cornell is quite open-minded to non-traditional students. Your acadenic aspect is on par with what they usually look for.

Your military background, leadership and volunteer as a counselor for suicide prevention makes you an interesting candidate. If you can package yourself well and are able to show Cornell why they should pick you over others, I think you have a good chance.

Keep in mind if you are planning to apply to Dyson, it has one of the lowest accepatance rate, if not the lowest, of all Cornell schools.
