ED cornell or columbia?

hello! I'm a current senior who's trying to figure out where she wants to ED for this upcoming cycle. I'm deciding between cornell and columbia; I was really set on columbia and it was a big dream since I was little BUT I did research and I am thinking that cornell might be better for what I intend to do? I would be applying something along the lines of information science / computer science (cornell a&s + Columbia College) at both.

which would be a better pick based on major? I think that I would not mind location as much as this is foremost an academic choice to me and I know they both have different environments. I'm a california resident if that helps & I can also share ecs if that would make a better picture.

keeping it vague so I don't get severely doxxed... lol

gpa & sat are well within the avg for both schools

- president of one of the largest academic teams at school (300+ members), advocated for funding at district board & brought club back to life

- internship at national stem org

- computational bio related internship at lab

- vp of another big club at school, played a big role in outreach and competition prep (got chapter a statewide award)

- paid cs internship at national lab

- ugc creator on a big gaming platform w well over 500k sales

- been on an olympiad team for the last 6+ yrs and won national medals for it, also tutored and coached local teams to their state championships

- organized misc. competitions and workshops (some stem, some business) with over 100+ attendees each and educated students on lesser known science fields

would I possibly fit of one school better than the other? thanks for any advice :)
