there are a number of excellent CS programs that are not in T20 colleges

With the caveat that rankings are subjective and only one of many factors to consider, here’s a list I had posted last fall:

Top Undergraduate Computer Science Programs (2022 Rankings)

Since it’s application season and there are many posters looking to major in computer science, this ranking of the top CS schools might be useful. Posting this with the usual caveat that rankings are but one factor among many in choosing the right school. But often, applicants focus on generic “top national universities” without considering the strength of the CS program at each. So a computer science ranking helps. Here’s USNWR’s top 20: #1: CMU, MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley #5: Cornell, Princeton, Georgia Tech, UIUC #9: Caltech, UWash #11: UT Austin #12: Columbia, Harvard, UCLA, UMich #16: JHU, Purdue, UCSD, UMD, UPenn, UWisconsin-Madison, Yale And these are the Top 20 from Brown’s aggregate rankings (includes Canadian universities): #1: MIT #2: CMU #3: Stanford #4: UC Berkeley #5: UIUC #6: UWash #7: Cornell #8: University of Toronto #9: UMich #9: Georgia Tech #11: UT Austin #12: UC San Diego #13: Princeton #14: UMD #15: Columbia #16: University of Waterloo #…

And here are Brown University’s aggregate rankings:
