Thoughts on transferring for 1 semester during sophomore year?

I am currently an incoming sophomore at Cornell in public health, transferring from McCombs. I'm planning to transfer back to McCombs for second semester, so I was checking whether this is a good idea and how this would impact mainly MBB recruiting (and IB)? Would I still recruit as a McCombs student but with Cornell contacts?

I also have the option of Stern for now, but I heard its undergrad is not a target for MBB.

What do you recommend? I would like to go to either Stern or Cornell for now.
