question about tiers

<p>Hello. Right now I'm in my second semester at UW-Madison. It's a great school but it's not working out for me so I am going to transfer back in state to a public Florida university. I've only applied to University of South Florida and Florida State. I would apply to UF but I was rejected the first time so I'm not going to waste my time. </p>

<p>I just recently applied to the two unies so I haven't been admitted yet, but I was admitted last time to both and USF seems to be pretty easy to get into. Now when I get admitted I will have to choose between the two and part of my decision will be the schools' rankings. From what I found on here FSU is tier 2 and USF is tier 3. My question is how much thought should I give into the ranking of the school? And if I were to go onto graduate studies will having a degree from one school be more beneficial than the other? </p>

<p>Thanks for any replies</p>
