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

Vanderbilt down 1, Cornell and Columbia up 1. I feel like your DC is at Vandy because that doesn't make sense. Drop BU, Tufts, NYU, USC, and Wake Forest. [/quote]

It's not 1980 anymore. The world is bigger than the Ivy League. I'd leave Vanderbilt where it is and add Rice to the second tier. But agree that BU, NYU, Tufts, USC, and Wake Forest should be dropped all together from this ranking. And if you're going to include them in SLACs, I'd also move West Point and Annapolis up. Wellesley down. [/quote]
