Now and again I see people talking about tier 1 schools or tier 2 or 3 schools. And I wonder…

What are these tiers? What schools are in them? What qualifies them? When does a school go from a tier 1 to a tier 2?

Example: Harvard a top school, Tulane a great school… are these schools in different tiers?

What tier is a school like U of Arizona? or UCONN?

Thanks for the input.
