<p>I searched through other threads and was unimpressed with the amount of replies, so here goes another try:</p>
<p>Through my research, I have found these schools that are well-recognized for their Computer Science programs (in order of prestigious):
1. MIT
2. CalTech
3. Carnegie-Mellon
4. Stanford
5. UC-Berkley</p>
<p>So far, I think I will apply to 1-3 and 5, but are there any other staples I should apply to?</p>
