GPA is a very important factor in getting admitted, but it doesn’t mean that it’s the only important factor. For one thing, your SAT score is okay (but by no means excellent - sorry!). Also, Cornell looks heavily at your essay. Just spend a couple hours/days/weeks on it and you should have a chance. I think they would understand if you wrote that you are an international student on your essay.

Like Jiaoda and Jessie said, take a deep breath and keep it up (sorry for the translation, I came here from china when I was 3, so my Chinese is horrible)
