[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA. [b]Highest ranked CS program in VA (same as Tech).[/b] There are discussion threads here where people are considering going to UVA over Michigan for CS.. [/quote] Where are you seeing the CS programs ranked? What are the ranks for each? [/quote] US News rankings for undergrad computer science. (Behind paywall) Rankings: 1. MIT 2. CMU, Stanford, Berkeley 5. Caltech, Cornell, Georgia Tech, Princeton, UIUC, U Wash. 11. Austin 12. Michigan 13. Columbia, Harvard, UCLA 16. UC San Diego, UMD, U Penn, Wisconsin 20. Harvey Mudd, Hopkins, Purdue, Rice, Yale 25. Brown, Duke, Northwestern, UC Irvine, U Chicago, USC 31. UC Boulder, U Mass Amherst, UNC, UVA, Virginia Tech [/quote] There is no outcome data whatsoever behind the USNWR CS ranking. It is just a reputation survey. This rating has placement inputs. http://www.ivyachievement.com/computer-science-rankings/[/quote] It's a noble undertaking but really no more useful than USNWR. It covers a narrow and arbitrary set of companies and doesn't take into account geographical variations in salary associated with COL, students who go on to graduate school, students who take jobs in something other than computer science, students who start their own gig because they have an idea or don't want to be salary slaves. It also uses Payscale as the source of salary data, so not a good sample.[/quote]
