GPA vs. Class Rank vs. School?

Out of the 3, which one is most important in terms of being looked at when transferring? And of the 3, how much weight is placed on each?

I have heard conflicting reports that GPA is more important than class rank and vice versa, and school trumps all. Just curious to hear what you guys think. My school's curve is pretty inflated so I'm hoping GPA or school is given more preference than class rank.

School with class rank.

Inflated gpa can't hurt, but having a 3.8 won't help if that's below median at gradeinflation U.
