I hate how people don't reply because you don't have a 1500 sat--It makes me so mad. But anyway, I just noticed your post so I thought I'd say something. Your stats look good and you're a good Vassar candidate, probably less so for Cornell but it's not out of your reach. Also, tests vary so if you'd like, you can also take the ACT and some SAT IIs. I did better on the ACT, personally.

I believe Cornell requires SAT IIs, so you should take Writing Math IIC and one other one
