My Daughter is not Computer Science so unclear why one set of CS ranks are shown in the a thread for UF admitted students.

Everyone should be happy for their students wherever they got accepted. And yes, UF is a Top 5 public so stop the negativity. Go Gators!

Look at these CS undergraduate rankings:

Top 5!!! Go Gators!

Notre Dame is tier 4. Two tiers up from UF.

Not a gator as I couldn’t get in. Forbes has it T25, #28 USNWR. Getting into anything in T30 on USNWR is incredible these days. It’s not your grandparents admissions process…

And let’s not forget it’s one of the few schools rapidly ascending! Wasn’t a T50 a decade ago. #19 public 5 years ago…good momentum, one of the Best kept Secrets, and best values.

Hard to get much higher for UF. Too many heavy hitters in the way.

Yeah, if UC-B can’t break T20, then we are just splitting hairs. All these schools are highly competitive!!

That’s the point. UCB is far superior academically to UF. Universities should be ranked in tiers and not in ordinals. Berkeley is easily 4-5 tiers higher than Florida. Gator fans actually think that being 28 is as good as being 23. In reality, there is no comparison. The academics don’t stand up.

😂 “4-5 tiers”. We are talking about schools #1-28 in the entire universe of 3200 schools in US. 4-5 tiers??? Ha ha

Ok you got me. I’d put Florida in tier 6. Only 4 tiers behind UCB.

Hahaha - I say you are a Notre Dame fan, as trolls look a lot like leprechauns😂

What does it have to do with Notre Dame?
My kid actually got in both Notre Dame and UF.
Of courese plan to attend Notre Dame.

That makes you sucker

Wow emotions are high here over two great and comparable schools - both HIGHLY competitive and very difficult to get in. Lots of splitting hairs on T20 or T25 or T30. And unless inside T5 or outside T205, all pretty much the same and depends on what the student is seeking. No doubt ALL within the T30 have overlapping stat ranges and similar student profiles. Now, let’s talk about something more relaxing like private high schools vs. publics in the DMV…

LOL congratulations. and it's a good school. I understand people got excited, but let's not get carried away too much. 

Notre Dame is clearly a step or two up.

Trolls = Leprechauns

+1 (sans the green topcoat and hat). Both are great schools and I bet have very similar admission stats (although ND is likely test optional and UF has to report all test scores). Great schools,
Congrats!

Yeah, I wouldn’t use that phrase. It’s racist.

Just another cracker who doesn’t seem to care that Blacks were fed to alligators as “gator bait”. That’s where the phrase comes from.

Sorry you didn't get in. Enjoy FSU.

Wow, which tier did you place Norte Dame in?

Notre Dame is a T20 school.

Yeah but using your silly “World Ranking” in the previous post, it’s only T183 hahaha. Which tier, again??

That post was not me and I'm more focused on Undergraduate ranking.
I'll worry about graduate ranking later.

Crack me up. Leprechauns do equal trolls. Too funny

“Cracker” sounds racist too. One seems accidental, the other seems intentional.

A white person who is ignorant of that term’s origin and the declines to apologize for using it … that’s poor character. We can do better. I have never used that term and didn’t know its racist origin. Thank you for educating me!

I’m confused, which word did you use? One is certainly racist (and intentional), the other seems to be (I trust your facts, as I never knew) but was accidental. Both are bad (if your assumptions are true), but the intentional use of a racist word is even worse. Words are just letter, but meanings and intent can be very harmful.
