    I respectfully disagree with your opinion. No way Rutgers (#40) and UMD (#46) are tier 4 IMO. Admissions rate do not equate to quality or outcomes - and public universities are required to be accessible for their in-state residents instead of exclusive.

      I have a bone to pick with Rutgers because, as you say, they have a duty to in-state residents. However Rutgers is ridiculous right now. My kid is a straight A student, AP classes up the wazoo, National Honor Society, killed it on the SAT, NJ Resident with both parents Rutgers alum and she just got waitlisted at Rutgers. Internet loaded with similar stories about it now. It's hardly a safety school, it seems they are putting themselves out of reach of most in-state. Admissions rates at RU are going to be tanking, watch.

      @@carnacthemagnificent2498 I was accepted into Rutgers a few weeks ago. I have good grades but didn’t take many AP classes. Your child may have been waitlisted because there stats were to good for the school and the chances of them being accepting by a better school is higher. In short your child wasn’t accepted because Rutgers doesn’t want there acceptance rate to increase because it does help them in there ranking. In my opinion I think this is wrong but I believe this is the reason you child wasn’t accepted.

Off the top of my head, they have the top business administration undergrad, top 3 CS, best civil engineering, best psychology, etc. us news ranks only a handful of undergrad programs and Berkeley does well in almost all of them. Furthermore, having the best graduate programs means you’re gonna have the best professors and grad students, who ultimately will be the ones working with you as an undergrad. I love my graduate school instructors (GSI). They were incredibly smart and motivated.

      Rutgers is ranked 40, yet this creator explicitly placed it in tier 4. Just goes to show that that is purely subjective and much to do about nothing. Students inherently have no experience and understand of the world around them and should focus on the best program for their career path rather than today's best brand which might not even offer the program for their chosen career.
      Said another way, show me a "smart" student who wants to go to Harvard for engineering and i will show you a fool.

      @@adr77510 prestige comes from research, citations, faculty, school history, discoveries, innovations, etc, not freckled faced undergrads. And that’s what drives departmental rankings. Overall, they’re ranked #15 by U.S. news national ranking, #4 by U.S. news global ranking, #6 by Times Higher Education, #4 by QS, #4 by arwu, #2 by Forbes, #9 by Washington monthly, #4 by cwur. however, hated on my Wall Street journal at like #40 or something. That’s like five major rankings they’re in the top 10 and a few where they’re top 5. Umass and Iowa’s strong linguistic department helps their overall prestige. Now, imagine having 34 top ten programs, including a score of number ones and 10-15 top 3s and 5s? Did you get rejected by Berkeley or something? How can you be this irrational? Berkeley is one of the world’s most famous universities . It’s always mentioned in movies.

    You have to base it on majors and departments
    Like, Rutgers, for example, has an amazing CS and engineering department, Liberty has a great game development program
    What's a tier 1 is gonna be different for me as it would for others.
    Some schools surprisingly get harder to get into, the higher the reputation a department gets
    Or hell, the stock of a college could rise as you get into said college (happened with me doing IT game dev at NJIT from 2012-2016, program was new but it was relatively on par with something you'd see at other game PROGRAMMING CS programs, and it blended in super well for me when I went into software engineering when I graduated)
    Using NJIT as an example, you could easily get in for history or theater
    But hands down would it be MUCH harder getting into their biomedical engineering program. It depends on the majors, lol
