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.
@@harrychu650 A lot of public schools shot up disproportionally in the USnews rankings but realistically Rutgers isn't the 40th most presitigous/sought-after school.

Idk about other disciplines but UMD (U Maryland - College Park) is extremely selective in STEM, and it’s definitely tier 1. I’m going to UMD but also got accepted to UChicago and Northwestern for PhD EE/CS with very high honor awards at those schools (full tuition + $5xxxx/yr assistantship). I’m not sure about the general public, but to the world-class experts in many STEM fields, UMD is a big name, especially in CS/Physics/Math. When I presented and did the networking at several premier conferences in both CS and physical sciences (ICML, AMS, AGU), it’s super easy to break the ice by saying I’m an UMD student since those top people often know/has worked with several other top scientists from UMD. The same can be said for Berkeley, just that Berkeley is on their own league academically along with MIT/Stanford/Harvard. Berkeley is a huge name with extreme prestige and is mad respected by the most intelligent people on the planet but often overlooked by average folks.

you can argue that it's in the higher tier, but best University in the US are private schools, it's not in the same tier as Harvard, UPenn or Columbia, or even WashU.
UMD is not a tier 4 school, its acceptance rate is 40% and rutgers & temple both have acceptance rates 20-30% higher than UMD yet are in the same category. It should also be noted that a public 40% accpt rate is more comp than a lot of privates aritifically inflated lower accpt rate and that can be measured by the GPA, SAT score, and income outcomes out of college which are all measured by usnews. UMD is a t45 institution and a flagship state worth its salt.
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
In fact, apart from some universities in tier 2, there's no big problem. Rutgers University is an ordinary university for people living in the area. Of course, it's a good choice
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.
