100% Accurate College Tier List

Due to the abundance of misinformation regarding schools on this forum, I decided to take it upon myself to create the official WSO school tier list. Hope this helps!

Infinitargets - Wharton, Harvard

Ultratargets - Princeton, Caltech, Stanford

Hypertargets - MIT, Yale

Supertargets - UChicago, UPenn, Columbia

High Targets - Duke, Dartmouth, Northwestern

Mid / Low Targets - Cornell, Brown, Williams

Semi-Targets - UMich, UVA, UT Austin, Emory, WashU

Low Semi-Targets - Notre Dame, IU Kelley, UNC, NYU Stern, Georgetown

This is by far the most retarded/worst list I have ever seen in my life.

Is this regarding overall quality or for IB?

If overall quality: Stanford should be #1 no question. MIT #2, Caltech #3. Wharton should be MUCH lower at like a semi target. So many other corrections too many to type.

If for IB targets: Cal tech, Stanford, and MIT go WAY down despite being phenomenal universities - they don’t place well relative to the others even though I would find these people very appealing.

Non-Penn Wharton goes to the bottom idiotic to put them that high. Completely delete the semi target list except for Ross. Notre Dame, NYU, and Georgetown at the bottom? They should be much higher like tier 2/3. Cornell gets deleted. Brown is ok. Williams goes to the bottom.

You’re all over the place. Terrible list try again.

 

HAHA! Look at that you have to deflect to something else because you know my argument that your list is horrible is correct.

And, yes, the fact that my posts dissatisfy you makes me laugh even harder.

Throw some more monkey shit at me while you're at it. LOL

 

You forgot Monsters University in Infinitargets, but you only really have a shot at Monsters Inc. if you get into Roar Omega Roar. Though apparently some hotshot from Oozma Kappa also placed really well too, might have been nepo baby.
