[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't claim to be up on CS rankings, but Carnegie Mellon being #2 does surprise me. When I was in undergrad way back in the 90's, it seemed like it had a reputation for being a decent school overall, but nowhere near in the same league as MIT or Stanford, etc. Then again, that's speaking as a school overall, not just CS, as CS back then definitely wasn't what it is now![/quote] CMU was ranked in the lower 20s overall in the 90s, and has slipped to upper 20s as the ranking metrics have changed. It basically is still two different schools, the science half and the arts half (much lower SATs, GPAs etc) -- maybe that is why you are confused. You knew people who went to the art side. Case, which has been rising up the rankings has a similar story. Carnegie U and Mellon College were two different schools as were Case College and Western Reserve. You can still see the science and arts split at Case. [/quote]
