Tier 1,2,3....?

<p>How are colleges ranked in these tiers, and which colleges are in each? Is there a website that has an official ranking for this stuff?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/rankguide/rghome.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usnews.com/usnews/rankguide/rghome.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>do you want usnews tiers or do you want the CC tiers (something i consider absolutely ridiculous)?</p>

<p>you'll find some morons on the board who will constantly spew this type of crap.
"tier 1 - hyp
tier 2 - stanford mit caltech
tier 3 - columbia brown
tier 4 - dartmouth chicago
tier 5-193489283402398 - the rest"</p>

<p>please do your best to avoid/ignore them</p>

<p>lol jags nobody says that...some people say</p>

<p>HYPSM is tier 1
Other Ivies/Ivy-caliber is tier two</p>

<p>Nobody classifies all schools worse than dartmouth as tier 5...</p>
