You're going to get a great education no matter which one you go to. Both are prestigious-- i mean cornell has the ivy name, but they're ranked like 16 and 18 right now, not a significant difference at all. I go to Sinai and my best friend and college roommate goes to cornell, and we debate about the schools a ton, but i think the most important thing is your personal fit. Where you liked the people more, where you felt more comfortable. If you're a competitive person who will strive to do better just because of the honors, or if you're a self-motivated person who likes to personalize your schedule more (watch lectures on video if you can't make class, study which things you're most interested and make sure you get by in everything else) like Sinai's pass/fail system. I do personally think the opportunities for community service are much better here because of the location and the patient populations.
