Here’s a link to the engineering admissions page. At the bottom is a list of the average scores for incoming engineers: https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/first-year-applicants

A downward trend in junior year may be a red flag and your english SAT score is low.

SAT is on the low side. Aim for 1520+.

EC’s are very good!
If you can get your english SAT up to at least a 650-700, you definitely have a shot.
