You might want to let people know this is data-driven; ranking based on the number of publications.  A CS major would like this one. You plan to do a PHD you want to use this ranking. And no dude is manipulating this list. A school can climb the ranking by putting in the work.

The US News one is "poofy" no-one knows why one is ranked higher. A school can climb by lining the pockets of some journalists not in the field.

In both cases UMD was ranked high.

And GMU is highest in VA using CSRankings. [/quote]
