transfering between elite schools is harder than doing that from lower level schools?

This may be stupid. But I have seen many posts saying that transfering parallely from a top school to another top school is harder than transfering from a lower school, say, a cc.

When saying this, do people simply mean that because transfers from elite schools do not have as strong purposes as the ones from some lower level schools? Or there might be special preferences differ from different schools? Or do they mean something else entirely?

Thank you very much for reading or replying this thread.

I doubt there is any hard rule about this, as applicants are judged very much on a case-by-case basis. Elite schools can differ very much and provide very compelling reasons for prospective transfers at other, similarly ranked schools. That being said, the better your original school, the more impressive your GPA.
