[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the Ivy League really Harvard and Yale and everyone else? If we're talking just general prestige anyway. Some people have heard of Princeton. Many of them rate its law school as being great  :lol: [/quote]

Cornell has a #7 ranked computer science dept and Yale is #20.[/quote]

Where does that rank even come from? Something semi-useless like USNWR's undergrad department rankings?
Yes, everyone knows Yale was late to the CS game but it is now pouring $$ into it and Yale has plenty to invest and improve quickly. I'd go to Yale over Cornell for CS in a heartbeat with the recent investment and overall name recognition. [/quote]

Sounds like you went to clown school.[/quote]

Please don't use USNWR departmental rankings or have your kids use them! At the very least look at their grad school rankings to better understand relative strength. Their departmental rankings are simply a survey of academics at peer institutions.[/quote]

The grad school rankings were listed here as measure of the department.[/quote]

Pick the school not the department! Majors and interests change[/quote]

Disagree when it is something as important and popular as computer science.[/quote]
No pp is right. Unless, your DC wants to go into research/ PhD then the school is most important.  [/quote]

You are dead wrong.  I know many employers who only hire CS grads from top departments.[/quote]
Who are those employers? Name them otherwise it's BS. Going back to Emory vs Gatech. Emory CS grads make more despite Emorys CS department being lower ranked, that's because Empry is the better school with better relationships with employers.  There's also some employers that won't hire from non T25 schools.  [/quote]

You ever leave your basement?[/quote]
Occasionally, I do WFH. I'm still curious about thr employers you're talking about? [/quote]
