RML, here’s the part you’re missing, 90% at Berkeley come from CA public schools, the most grade inflated public schools in the US. Cornell draws from way more competitive high schools with about a third of the student body coming from elite private schools where GPAs are harder to inflate.

Berkeley is also not allowed to consider race, so there is no effort towards diversity impacting their SAT scores. Cornell is, simply, considerably harder to get into.
