From CALS [url=http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/prospective/admissions/first-year/faq.cfm#suny]FAQs[/url]

"How does this arrangement [between CALS and SUNY] influence the College’s commitment to resident and non-resident students?

“As a statutory college within the State University of New York, we are committed to maintaining a strong presence of New York State residents in our student body. A majority of the students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are New York State residents. However, the College is also committed to enrolling a student body that is geographically diverse. Given these commitments, it is also important to note that geography is not by itself a determining factor in any admission decision.”

I read this to say it helps some!!
