Those aren’t tier 3 schools…I’m using a 2009 USNews - but ranks are…

UKansas #89
Iowa St # 89
Indiana U #71

Those are all considered tier 1 by new standards. By old tier standards, they would be tier 2

Their rankings and their stats are rather similar (not exactly) to those of UA. I don’t think the differences are evident at all on the campus. Again, I think those with higher stats gravitate towards the more difficult majors; those with lower stats tend to major in the easier programs.

When you consider the high percentage (over 20%) of freshmen qualify for honors, you know that you’re getting some pretty smart kids.
