Yea, I wouldn’t go into the application process expecting to get a huge break on your GPA just because you’re from Cornell. You’ll be disappointed.

So, don’t take the most difficult courses available. But, there’s no need to fill your schedule with underwater basketweaving or “chemistry of the clouds” courses every semester. You are still paying $40,000 a year for a very good college and you should take advantage of that with a challenging courseload.
