does current school play big role in transferring?

<p>i attend cornell, an institution generally accepted as difficult even among the ivy leagues. </p>

<p>would obtaining a 3.7+ GPA in a school like cornell commit to a difference in the way admissions committees view transfers? i am looking at yale, because the program i attend in cornell is a 5 year program that i find very focused but hence too limiting.</p>

<p>what are the most important elements that admissions committees seek in students transferring for fall of sophomore year?</p>
