1A) Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton
1B) Columbia, Penn, Duke, Chicago, Caltech

3A) Michigan, NYU, USC, UVA, Tufts, Middlebury, Barnard
3B)UNC, Boston College, W&M, Wake, W&L, Davidson

Tier 2A is very debatable is there are a lot of great schools that could go there. [/quote]

Good stuff.  [/quote]
Thank you, I was trying my best to be fair but accurate of what people think. I also work for a [b]top pharmaceutical company FYI[/b]. [/quote]

OMG haha. I'm a tenured professor at a research 1 institution, and I think your ranking is a joke.[/quote]
Good for you, there are over 100 schools considered Research 1 institutions. The vast majority of them are not considered prestigiuos, especially at the undergrad level. [/quote]

+ 1. And since when did a tenured professor become an authority on school rankings?  Most of you have your heads up your a**es and it's your TAs that do most of the work anyways while you research cr*p that no one cares about![/quote]
Wait, when did working for a "top pharmaceutical company" become an authority for school rankings? That could mean anything from a HR, to an administrative assistant to a research scientist. Since research scientist wasn't mentioned, I'm assuming it wasn't research scientist.

And yeah, a tenured professor at an R1 has far more knowledge about quality of university than someone that vaguely works in the pharmaceutical company, considering you know, their life is working in a university and working with professors in other universities.

Also saying professors do research no one cares about - you realize there's a reason kids want to learn from Ph.D.'s right?[/quote]
