Stanford would be an awesome place for you. But REA would be a crapshoot for you as an Asian male STEM applicant, and with a 9.1% acceptance rate and 80% outright rejection rate it would be risky. Again, I applaud your maturity in thinking about what is important to you and what fits you. There are a lot of wonderful schools, and the most talented applicant can still only matriculate at one.
Thanks! I’ll just apply to Stanford if I get denied or deferred from Cornell.
It would be ironic if that happened and you got in to Stanford. Life sometimes works in mysterious ways - that happened with me decades ago, and I ended up at Stanford, which became my first choice even though it wasn’t when I had to commit to early applications.
Good luck!
You have great chances, no reason to be worried 
You should get into a lot of these (including Cornell ED)

You need at least 3 match schools. Right now, your list is all reaches and two safeties. That being said, I don’t know how they calculate your GPA, but it looks like you’re like a 3.9 something student, which is good, but not stellar, for these schools. Test scores are great, but we do need Math 2 for accurate MIT and Caltech chances. However, I do think that you will get into ONE school (besides your two safeties) on your list, I just don’t know which one. Regardless , Cornell looks like 40-60 for ED, especially for engineering. In the end, Ivy or not, one school will be gifted with an amazing incoming freshman. Good luck.
^The OP addressed that in posts #3 and 10 above. I don’t see what’s wrong with his approach, if he is content with it. Again, I think he’s being unusually sensible and mature in this entire process.
@basedchem Thanks for chancing! my school does GPA on a 4.33 scale with A+'s equaling 4.33 and A’s equaling 4.00 and so on. I’ve gotten a few A’s and the rest A+'s so my UW GPA is fairly good.
Your stats and scores are definitely up to par, as many previous posters have posted. Your essay will probably be the make-or-break, and how much passion you show for your shows. Good luck!
