[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know where the line was drawn for “tiers” so I looked them up.

An example of a group of 2nd Tier colleges are Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Rice, USC, NYU, Emory, Washington University in St. Louis, Tulane, Boston College, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Carnegie Mellon

Tier 3 Colleges are mostly state colleges like UCSD, UCI, University of Rochester. UW-Wisconsin

I don’t know what’s wrong with these colleges.  [/quote]

This is nowhere close to an accurate list. JHU and NU are below HYPSM, but a tier above the other schools listed by a mile (and many that were omitted like Cornell and Brown). Try again.[/quote]

Not to mention it’s completely idiotic and doesn’t take into account majors, or so many other important factors.

SFS Walsh school at Georgetown is best for international relations. JHU in biomedical engineering, etc.

People ranking schools on this board have their heads so far up there @sses it’s ridiculous. [/quote]

It’s completely idiotic for people to claim they won’t pay for Tier 2 or Tier 3 colleges when it is highly unlikely their kid will be at a Tier 1 school.   And these lists were created by sites that take into account admission rates and others but not everything.  These top 10 
lists people mention don’t separate different majors either.  [/quote]
