I want to go to Pharmacy School for graduate studies. I got accepted to UCLA for Sociology, and CSUN (California State University, Northridge) for Nutrition, both for undergraduate. UCLA is much better school, but I like Nutrition better. Which one should I choose?
CSUN actually has a good nutrition program, but UT at Dallas has a better one.

What are the rankings exactly and what does that term mean?
US News and World Reports publishes a ranking of colleges each year.
The top 50% are given a ranking number. With these "top schools" someone is #12 and someone is #11. These are "tier 1 and 2" if there was such a thing.
The bottom 50% are put into two groups with no ranking numbers. These are tier 3 and tier 4 (bottom 25%).
Being tier 3 means that the school is ranked between the lower 50% and 75% of schools in the category.
So, if the category had 100 schools, the first 50 of those would be "top"; the next 25 would be 3rd tier, and the lowest 25 would be 4th tier.
This is just USNWR's ranking though – some people don't agree with them at all.
Some fairly well respected schools are in the tier 3 rankings such as WV and Ill. State. They just aren't the flagship schools we often think of first.
