I never call any chess player "weak" for the simple reason that chess
strength is relative. A 1400 player is "strong" compared to the vast
majority of non-tournament chess players. I think I have read or heard
that a 1600 rated chess player knows more about chess than the holder
of most PhD degrees know about his respective field.
I would propose:
1400 - HS grad
1600 - BS
1800 - MS
2200 - PhD
Thank you for replying but I disagree.
How many holders of the PhD degree are there in America? I believe
that the number is in the tens of thousands.
By contrast, how many chess masters are there?

Quite a few more, I should think.
