[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the rankings from CSrankings.  How accurate are they for UMD?  According to this, UMD has a top 10 department. I know it is hard to get into and just looking for real world people.  Nothing against US News, Forbes etc.  Something like Computer Science is so different than sociology.

1.Carnegie Mellon University
2.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
3.University of California, San Diego
4.Georgia Institute of Technology
5.Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6.University of Michigan
7.University of Washington
8.University of California, Berkeley
9.Cornell University
9.University of Maryland, College Park
11.Northeastern University
11.Stanford University
13.Purdue University
14.New York University
14.University of Texas at Austin
16.University of Wisconsin–Madison

18.University of Pennsylvania
19.Columbia University

I agree this list makes sense except for umd, it shouldnt be there, umd is more like uva a genarally good state school for everything. honestly i would swap it out w/ virginia tech[/quote]
what are you smoking. UMD is absolutely great for CS, better than UVA or Vtech.

The list is based on research and publication - "CSRankings is a metrics-based ranking of top computer science institutions based on faculty publications at selective conferences".  So, the list moves a bit month to month based on publication, but UMD is generally always T10 on that list.

Research is important because it can lead to cutting edge research which means the professors may have leading edge knowledge, and in turn, real world applications.[/quote]

The most cutting edge research is coming out of private companies not universities.  Universities just don’t have the money for compute power…not even close…compared to the research coming out of Meta, Google, OpenAI, etc.

At the absolute leading CS conferences, you now see far more private companies presenting research than universities.[/quote]
