<p>ASU is a good 2nd tier school. If I had to compare it to the Cal schools, I would say that it’s better than the Cal Sate schools, but it’s not as good as the top UC schools (UCLA, UCB, UCSD). ASU business compares with Irvine and Davis. If you want it compared to other schools, you need to list which ones.</p>

<p>There are two types of students: students that care about their education and career and students that care about getting into the most exclusive schools so that they can feel superior to others. The former group looks at things like salaries, visibility in certain fields, and rankings. The latter looks at the admission rate and ACT/SAT requirements.</p>
