Hey everyone!
This is a tier list I made as a HS Junior/Senior based on opinions from WSO, Poets&Quants, USNews, CollegeConfidential, Reddit, etc.
As I am done with the whole college app process, I'm sharing this list in hopes of helping you develop your own college lists.
Feedback is appreciated, but please leave positive criticisms.
*Disclaimer: This is purely a list created as a **reference for high schoolers. It's an anecdote from a frosh so please take it with a grain of salt.
