<p>Although my S loved what he saw when he visited the CS dept. at a Brown open house, I don’t think they’re ranked higher than Cornell or Princeton - don’t really know about the others. However, I think it depends on what you’re interested in too. Princeton is ranked very high, but they don’t have the game design/virtual reality that my S is looking for - it’s more engineer/hardware oriented. Brown, Cornell, CMU, Tufts, and MIT would be better for those.</p>
