I read a post earlier about getting into a "Tier 1 or Tier 2" medical school and began wondering about a couple of things.
1. Are the so-called tiers based on the US News research ranking of medical schools? I'm guessing they must be since no one else I know of ranks them.
2. How many tiers are there anyway? 3, 4, 5?
3. Are the top 20 or 30 US News Ranked schools in Tier 1 or the Top-Tier, or is it say the top 10 or 15? I guess this is related to what you think about #2.
I know this is an imprecise thing we're talking about, but I am interested in hearing peoples' opinions about it.
