lemon, I admire your determination. Besides trying to become an XC recruit, you should also focus on the department you are intent on joining. Are there things you could be doing this summer that demonstrate your deep interest in that area? If I were Cornell, I’d probably be more impressed by your single-minded drive to be in a particular area of study, but I’d want to see you back that up with some summer activity in that area. The XC card is worth trying. However, throwing yourself into your future field of interest and making an earnest attempt to contact somone in the department is maybe a better way to convince Cornell that you belong there.
