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.

Clearly this person has no clue how difficult it is to get into eg UCSD or Rutgers for computer science or engineering

[prabhavkaula]

Since when did Berkeley become tier 2 ☠️☠️☠️

[mckinseyand]

Tier1 - US News Ranking Top 20
Tier2 - US News Top 40
Tier3 - US News Top 60
Tier4 - US News Top 100

Tier 1 highly accurate. Thank you much. Have a good week!

[nikolairau]

Very interesting. Actually you're right about those, I think

[ChandlerHawkins-qfsp]

Where do the "tiers" come from and what makes the source reputable and reliable?

[stevem]

What is even the criteria being used to determine this??

[MarkColeman]

None of those schools in tier 2 are tier 2. They are all tier 1. With Berkeley being higher on the tier 1 list

[KABfromLA]

@melinakim Berkeley is the best public university in the country and may as well be of the world, it's not a tier 2 school, its a tier 1

[TimbleTrends]

Please someone tell me about these...
University of alabama at Birmingham
Arizona State University
Illinois State University

[miguelaguilaresparza]

Realce helpful thanks! Only one questions, which tiers are community college on?

[kvpillai]

University of Maryland is a tier 4 school? Its is so selective!

[noeditbookreviews]

There are more colleges in the city i live in than were mentioned in this video.

[xwjmtux]

Where would you place West Point on this list?

[chaseg]

Lot of ignorance in this video, Rutgers and UMD is way hard for normal student now. Many I know with 3.8 and many APs with good SAT are rejected or waitlisted same with UMD. USNEWS is gold standard of ranking, go refer there.

[danielkazanov]

bro UMD computer science has 600 spots with a 5% acceptance rate and is top 20 💀

[politicsgeek]

very low quality video and no sources cited. most people would disagree with some of the classifications.
