I don't care about specific ranking but curious what people consider in the second grouping.

This is our (totally unscientific) dinner table list so far:

Out of Reach, so assume top tier:
Notre Dame, UC, UCLA, UVA, UNC Chapel Hill, CMU, probably Boston College, Georgetown, Emory


Second tier:
Tulane
Villanova
U Miami
Wake Forest
Tufts?
NYU
UGA

Truthfully, people don't really care after about the T20. They all might as well be the same, and you can't really expect people to memorize all these schools all over the country.

Which simply shows how pointless linear ranking is for colleges.

How would Emory, UCLA Georgetown, WashU, CMU and UVA start the next 25 if they are currently inside the top25. Did you read the OP? WashU is ranked 14.

Usually 25 schools following first 25.

I say this group starts with NYU or maybe USC...and goes down to UGA

Assuming DC has little hope/interest of TOP schools, what's the next grouping, say 25-50, in your opinion?
