[quote=Anonymous]Getting into one of the better CS schools is increasingly more difficult.  The arms race to show off math skills is doing so much harm.  If you look at the top 20 CS schools, getting in with a sub 780 math SAT score is a very difficult task.  Maryland like a lot of schools has a much more qualified applicant with respect to SAT scores and math grades than other departments.

Some of the schools on this list are really easy to get into for most other programs.  But for CS it is brutal.
