[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hire in the CS sphere.  Berkeley and UMD (CP) would get second looks on the basis of the college name, as long as their academics are decent.  That's pretty much it.  Everyone needs to be able to do well on their 'How would you solve this problem?' type of question, to get hired.

In this field, and especially for newbies, it's all about what you can do, and how well you perform under pressure.[/quote]

Thank you for this perspective. I am always surprised to see UVA ranked way higher than UMD, while UMD ranks quite high in CS. I guess UMD only ranks high in CS, which is fine as colleges are selected based on major.[/quote]

UMD is ranked high in CS, Engineering, Physics, Math and Business.  I am not very knowledgeable about other majors but this is what I found on https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/university-of-maryland-college-park-163286
