You will be accepted at NYU and Emory. I think Columbia is a stretch with your GPA. What school are you applying to at Cornell?

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are good. Your GPA is fine as long as it is in the top 10% of your class. Write amazing essays, apply ED, and you could get accepted to any of these schools
