Breathtaking the amount of "moving the goalposts" going on in this thread. Of course the top 4 are tippy top. Go back, there's agreement on that. Those are the "$400k" schools. But how about #8? #22? #37? #61? #90? Kids are gonna be fine with CS degrees from across those colleges. Laughable that people scoff at $65k as an opening salary. We're talking college grads. And yes, it matters where you're hired. $65k in one city is $85k in another. Boise vs. San Francisco.

Y'all making it unnecessarily complicated.

Top 4 are top. There is no big gulf between them and the next 4 - it's the same kids and program basically. There is some debate of who's the next 4 but usually UIUC, GT, Cornell, UDub. Add some associate members to the mix: HYP, Columbia and Caltech. These are the schools that you get a quantifiable resume and recruiting boost. And you need it because there's a wide range in CS jobs/companies

Don't need to look at placements, salaries, geos etc. just take them for granted.

Next, do well in school, build personal skills, keep up the mental health, build broad networks, seek opportunities. Done. It's the same schtick as T-14 Law schools, M7 business schools - we like simplicity.[/quote]
