Purdue is B-tier? It's ranked top 10 in both undergrad and grad school (we're talking about engineering, of course).

- argonaut 14y agoTiers are highly subjective. I know many will disagree with tiering. But Purdue is at the very least a tier below A. I'm speaking of undergrad. We at least know it's not A tier (Harvard Princeton Stanford MIT, I think I'm missing a few). Or if you want to get even more resolution, it's not necessarily A- tier either (Berkeley, "lower" Ivies, etc.)
- cycrutchfield 14y agoFor Computer Science: A-tier: MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, CMU (in no particular order)
- erichocean 14y agoPurdue is B-tier? Yes, without any doubt.
- jrockway 14y agoI like how you guys are arguing about A. vs B. when many of us went to schools that are in a tier so low that there aren't even enough letters to give the tier a letter-based rank. (Maybe that's why Unicode exists!)
- Xcelerate 14y agoEhh.. don't worry about it. I don't think my grad school is in a tier either. What matters is what you do with yourself!
- kamaal 14y agoI'm in a same situation here. Trust me going to a big school is as much about having rich parents, exposure and massive social/financial push from people around you as much it is about personal genius and hard work. I would say big schools only act as a hub for smart people to gather learn from each other and become more smart. Despite many people who go to big schools never make it big, and many people who go to small school make it big.
