<p>so i have a few questions regarding undergrad programs at certain schools.</p>
<p>i know sometimes its hard to say but which of the following schools is better in terms of strictly academics( i dont care about setting/sports/diversity or cost, but if you could expand on cost that'd be great) RIT, Northeastern or Purdue? remember for comp sci.</p>
<p>the other schools i was hoping to compare was georgia tech and university of maryland in terms of academics for undergrad and comparetively how hard it is to get into each school.</p>
<p>one last question, should i bother applying for cornell for comp sci if im considering georgia and maryland as possible targets. i know from statistics i dont have a high chance of getting in.</p>
<p>Why don’t you google “top computer science programs”?
There’s a College Crunch list that looks very close to the
USNWR Computer Engineering List:</p>
<p>MIT
Stanford
Carnegie Mellon
UC Berkeley
Cornell
UT Austin
UIUC
Princeton
Cal Tech
U of Wash
UW Madison
Harvard
Brown
Yale
UCLA
U of Maryland
Rice
UMich
USC
Columbia</p>
<p>Strangely enough I just helped someone else out with the same question - there’s tons of computer science schools around the US and any ‘rankings’ data is skewed at best. you can’t rank that many. and plus, computer science isn’t really like law - not as much emphasis being applied on the educational institution. this site does list ranking factors for them, and has about every CS school in the US listed:</p>
