Just saying they dropped. WM went from 65 to 82. Think NYU was top 25 last year to 40.

And yet neither has changed, and the academic differences among these 100 schools is negligible for CS.

Except the bubble finally poped and we no longer have hot-air anymore. All the distortions associated with money are gone.

9 CA public schools on the list compared to Texas-3, FL-1 and NY-1

I see Harvey Mudd and that's pretty much about it?

At some LACs it’s basically nonexistent, others have decent departments. The good thing about LAC Computer Science departments is that you don’t have to go in knowing you’re doing CS. It’s not competitive to get into the major. You just have to take some intro classes and declare a major. Whereas schools like Michigan, Maryland, and Georgia Tech, it’s very hard to get into CS beyond general admissions, especially if you’re a boy.

If you get a CS degree from a top SLAC, you'll be gainfully employed. We're not talking an anthropology major or anything.

to be fair. CA has the Silicon Valley.

They have 50 students in the program of course it's small.

Crap ranking. For major specific ranking, CS grad rankings are much more informative. Go here and find out

Why doesn't Illinois (UIUC) get much mention/respect on this board? They seem to have a top tier CS program ranked above many expensive private schools. Thoughts?

They do. Very difficult to get into. It's also direct admit program. A lot of TJ kids apply there.
