Top 5
- MIT
- Georgia Tech
- Harvard
- Purdue

The real news should be #6 Central Florida. Ahead of #10 UIUC, #12 CMU, #14 CalTech, #22 Stanford.
^ True.
I was surprised by Purdue.
This could get interesting. I’ll get the popcorn. Way to go UCF. I think they just made the big time. I’ve seen multiple recommendations for UCF if you’re in-state and want a cheap top-notch STEM education. Never realized how good it might be.
I wonder when they’ll have divisions like NCAA sports?
Actually UCF is in the same regional as GT.
A few years ago they beat GT to win the regional event and had a 4th place finish among US teams at the world finals. So they have had a good team in the recent past.
UCF has a long and successful history in this event - it dates all the way back to the 1980’s…

I was surprised to not see UCF in the top 5. I think they regularly beat the tippy top colleges in these events. DS attended their summer competitive programming camp a few years ago and really enjoyed it.
