Northeastern is ranked higher overall but slightly

UMD is ranked higher in CS program but slightly

It's a matter of personal preference and situation

I'm honestly surprised (and a bit suspicious) that NE is actually ranked that highly in CS. I can honestly say I've never interviewed or worked with a CS grad from NE. I can't even remember seeing a NE resume (I've looked at thousands), but it's possible I just don't remember. Name any other top CS school and I can rattle off any number of people I've interviewed and worked with.

U S News has Maryland computer science at 17 and NE at 34, pp cherry-picked the ratings most favorable to NE.

34 in CS is great.

U S News has 44 NEU 55 UMD for overall undergrad.

Again, both are not significant ranking wise, so all depends on your personal preference and situation.

The undergrad rankings are more easily manipulated, which Northeastern has done. It’s not as strong of a school or program. They just make it appear like it is through their various schemes.

Sorry thats your imagination. if cost is no issue, general public choose Northeastern.

Dp.. but we aren't talking about "overall" undergrad. This is about CS.


I think in this case, more expensive doesn't mean better. You're just buying a label.

Again, this matters more than some arbitrary rankings

Sorry, not my imagination. Let’s see— no supplemental essays and fee waivers to drive up applications, followed by trying to push kids into ED and taking vast majority of class that way, combined with pushing kids to crappy satellite programs. I’ll stay away from any school that has to resort to such measures to climb the rankings.

Most large schools do the same exact thing -so what? Your number of schools will be extremely limited, if try to find one that does not.

UMD is ranked higher in CS with alumni that launched Google, Oculus and Fortnite. It’s an incubator for geniuses.

Northeastern does not have a good reputation

[Anonymous]

UMD vs UMich may be a discussion. But UMD vs Northeastern is not much, for Computer Science. UMD CS all the way. And with the new building and general momentum with CS, it is on its way to get even better.

No dog in this fight but I don’t think this is correct.

Northeastern doesn't do fee waiver much. They rather enjoy making money from application fees.

No supplemental essay is great thing for the students.
Purpose of the supplemental essay is not to make students life more difficult or take away their time.
It is to select the right student who fit the school best.
Schools already have the records and personal essay from 4 years of students' hard working.

Northeastern is dong the best job already without asking students for a dumb additional essay.
Hence, https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/freshmen-least-most-likely-return
You pick the right students, they stay.
(this actually counts toward ranking, acceptance rate is not)

Offering various ways and options of admission is also great for students.

You have very backward thinking.
