<p>What would tier 2 be? Outside the top 50 maybe?</p>
<p>No, Michigan State University was ranked on usnews as 71, and that is in tier 1.</p>
<p>1-50 is technically tier one
then like 51-110 or something is tier two.
it is kinda undefined i believe...like tier one and two are both considered top tier schools</p>

<p>What do you mean technically? Is the #50 university really the same as the #1 in your eyes?</p>
