I am under the impression that as a top university, all factors would be important - especially considering that many applicants have 4.0s and 2200+ SAT. However, as admissions are “holistic”, you may find better luck if you have stellar extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations. Financial aid is not a factor as Cornell is need-blind, as long as you are a domestic transfer.

Don’t worry too much about it! Admissions at top universities tend to be very random seeming, and your chance is around the same chance as every other applicant.
