Take Columbia and never look back. You’ll realize that clubs mean absolutely nothing when you attend a school like that, name, GPA, and experience is what matters.
.
It’s alright but will not be leaps and bounds easier to recruit than in your current institution.

Nobody here has touched on the fact that it matters if you're transferring into GS or SEAS/CC
.
The school you're currently at matters…like, if you're already at Cornell (judging by the fact that another post says "Ivy") I can't help but think this seems pointless.
.
If you're already at an Ivy, recruiting should not be a consideration at all in transferring. Does not matter. I transferred to Columbia from another T25 school, beyond a certain point marginal benefit of prestige / network is nonexistent. Switching costs probably outweight the benefit from a recruiting standpoint -- you're already in clubs, maybe know seniors who will be graduating and in the workforce when you're recruiting.
Clubs don’t mean shit. Just show involvement in school and that’s enough.
