Yeah, I am leaning towards Cornell at the moment

Both are fantastic schools, but why didn’t you apply ED to Cornell? (In the old days, if you wanted the legacy bump, you needed to apply Early. Otherwise, the school would logically conclude that its not your first choice, particularly if that school meets full financial need.)
