I do think calling Cornell is a waste of time because OP self sabotaged by calling her rep and asking “would you change you my end if my cc”'s president called?" Obviously the rep answered no and now everuone’locked due to that rookie mistake.
However it doesn’t mean the cc’s president can’t call another school on ops behalf, preferably in the state or among contacts. Truth is, Buffalo and sb can be excellent schools but neither is where a 4.0 student in economics should go if possible.opportunities are better at Baruch than at SB for that field, even if I wouldn’t recommend Baruch due to its very commuter culture. Op could try some f the nescac schools, most are strong in economics, especially Hamilton and Colgate, which may be within the cc’s preaident’s network. i
