Something also for students to take into account is employability from some of these programs. Often times these days, people think just graduating with a CS degree is all it takes to get a good job, however, there are schools on that list, some highly ranked where their career placement is really lacking and a lot of it is on the students to find the jobs and internships because companies just don’t recruit at those programs.

Additionally, my son who works in the CS field at a former job would perform interviews at one of the top schools on that list and often took a pass on those students because while they may have been geniuses, they didn’t have the skills the company needed to solve the problems and do the work. Many companies in Silicon give “tests” for lack of better word for their different stages of interviews and these applicants couldn’t get past the second round. So sometimes your school can be one of the best but that doesn’t mean anything if you can’t do anything with it.
