I agree this is a good summary. UIUC is strong in the more traditional areas of CS while CMU is stronger in, some would say, the more “modern” and exciting areas of CS, which require more math (and students stronger in math). And by most accounts, CMU SCS has a more competitive environment than most of its peers.
