Personally I split by category (Private/Public/SLAC) and then go by tiers rather than specific "ranks" which I find a bit silly, even with tiers the cutoffs can be fuzzy, but better than a literal numeric list.

[b]Private top tier:[/b] HYPSM
[b]Private second tier:[/b] Brown, Cal Tech, Chicago, Dartmouth, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Penn 
[b]Private third tier:[/b] Boston U, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Emory, Georgetown, Notre Dame, NYU, Rice, Tufts, USC (Southern Cal), Wake Forest, Washington U (St. Louis)

[b]Public top tier: [/b]Michigan (Ann Arbor), UC Berkeley, UCLA, Virginia (UVA)
[b]Public second tier: [/b]Florida, Georgia Tech, Illinois - Urbana Champaign, North Carolina (UNC Chapel Hill), Texas (UT Austin), UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCSB, UCSD, William & Mary, Wisconsin
[b]Public third tier: [/b]Many... like 30

[b]SLAC top tier: [/b]Amherst, Pomona, Swarthmore, Wellesley, Williams
[b]SLAC second tier: [/b]Bowdoin, Carleton College, Claremont McKenna, Middlebury, Smith, US Military Academy - West Point, US Naval [b]SLAC third tier: [/b]Barnard, Bates, Colby, Colgate, Davidson, Hamilton, Haverford, Richmond, US Air Force Academy, Wesleyan

This is how I view schools.
Some people don't even consider a few of the categories here.[/quote]
