[quote=Anonymous]is only the grouping of a foreigner (or someone who didn't go to college) who obsessively reads USNWR. Here's a real ranking: Tier 1 - Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford Tier 1A - MIT and Caltech Tier 2 - Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, Northwestern, and begrudgingly Chicago Tier 3 - Cornell, Penn, Hopkins, Vanderbilt, WUSTL, Rice, the good publics like Berkeley and UVA, the good Catholic schools like ND and Georgetown I agree with this except I would move CalTech and Northwestern down a Tier each, as good “trade schools.” This is my perception based on prestige/reputation, as someone who grew up in the Northeast and is very familiar with independent schools in NY and Boston. Columbia really wasn’t harmed by the USNWR scandal, and John’s Hopkins, despite its ranking, loses on cross admits to the top schools, because it does not have the perceived prestige of elite schools.[/quote]
