Do I still have a chance?

[diegotistical]

Current GPA is a 3.0, expecting a 3.3 GPA by the time I graduate. I come from a Spanish university and I am an accounting and finance undergrad. Assuming a 168Q+ on GRE, will I get a chance at getting into NYU Tardon, Cornell or Columbia? GPA was low first two years of college due to me working part time jobs and suffering from Crohn's disease. Idk how much they care about that, I just want realistic opinions. I am learning Python, advanced math and stats on the side. Currently did 2 internships, one as a support trade desk and one for equity research. Also planning on making solid GitHub projects and a research paper with a professor of the faculty.
How can I maximize my chances to getting into top schools? Thanks a lot
Note: I can't retake classes that are already passed since my university doesn't allow it
