This is final and not debatable. Make your decisions based on this list.

Coffee definite tier 3. Tier 2 includes peanut butter. You are an idiot to say otherwise.

Hello? Chocolate Chip? All anyone really cares about are the CVSCC flavors. After that it might as well be Spinoni.

Or Spumoni. It’s part of the Claremont flavors. They cheat on the milk content.

So sad.

If you go by the students that I know, those admitted to Columbia, Chicago, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Northwestern, JHU, Penn, Amherst and Williams do not in any way rise above some of those who are attending some of the schools in category 5 like Rice and Vandy, and some of them were a lot weaker.

Very true.

These are just tiers ranked by the general public's perceived prestige and reputation of the "top" schools.

This whole discussion reminds me of the debate of how many angles can dance on the head of a pin. Non-sense.

Acute, right, or obtuse angles?

If you were planning to go to law or medical school and had the stats and ECs to be admitted to any of the schools listed, would any of these schools make a significant difference in your odds of graduate school admission?

But the article mostly just talks about programs in place in these schools to help Pre-Med students. I only saw outcomes (% placed in medical school) for two of the schools. This article does not tell us which schools are "the best" for pre-meds, in terms of their success.

Bunch of haters here who want to stop this thread because their kid didn't get into a tiered school. It's fine. Your kid will be ok.

I think you just plug in schools you are interested in with its peer university. WashU, for example is probably similar to Duke that’s on the list. Harvard, Yale, Princeton are not on the list. It’s probably comparable to Columbia.

I would be interested in knowing where CalTech falls. If its med-school admit rate is comparable to Columbia, I am guessing it’s on par with Columbia. If, on the other hand, its admit rate is similar to BU, then it’s clearly overrated.

Williams and Amherst both have >90% admission rates to med school. And they're both highly represented at Yale Law School. http://bulletin.printer.yale.edu/htmlfiles/law/law-school-students.html
