Does my SAT score really hurt my chances or getting into the School of Engineering ED?

How about you just send your ACT and your SAT 2s?

Cornell doesn't participate in Score Choice, so I need to send all my SAT scores in order to send them my required SAT Subject Tests.

Actually, if you only send your ACT score, you can send your Subject Tests without sending your SAT 1s.

Are you sure about this?, because I'm getting mixed answers from Cornell. I called them and one person said I can and the other said I can't.

I just emailed the School of Engineering about the matter and I made it clear I only want to send subject tests and ACTs with writing. Do you think I should take their word as final? I'm regretting asking again and sending that email with my name included now.

Did you do this (submit SAT 2s and ACT only)?

I found out about this possibility after I already sent my scores, but I wouldn't have wanted to anyway I don't think. I will email the College of Engineering the same matter and will get another answer for you.
