[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What jobs are these tiers being used to hire in?

It's laughable to me that anyone would hire a Washington University over Berkeley in any engineering or math/science field. Berkeley's humanities and liberal arts are very rigorous as well and has a reputation of grade-deflation.

For an ambiguous job, beyond the high Ivies, Stanford/MIT/Caltech and potentially Duke, the private universities that have been listed (Rice, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Dartmouth, Brown) aren't considered any more rigorous than Berkeley. 
In sciences/engineering its unclear to me if even Harvard/Yale/Princeton are considered more rigorous than Berkeley - they have a reputation of grade inflation.

Other than Berkeley, the publics are mixed. UVA has historical prestige but the school itself is not considered very difficult. Same for Michigan for liberal arts.

Now if you are a student choosing colleges, Dartmouth will provide far more resources and a much less stressful environment to you than Berkeley, while also having social prestige.

I am also wondering about this. [/quote]
