2) P
3) Y

12) NW
14) Cor
15) JHU
16) Brown
17) Rice
18) Emory
18) ND

<p>Columbia at 8th place is the highest we've been ranked in over a decade possibly ever by usnews.</p>
<p>I think the rankings aren't great, but they influence people so moving up is a +</p>
<p>Hmmm, sweet. Not too many big jumps.</p>
<p>tied at #18... Venereal Disease!</p>
<p>Dartmouth sure moved up considerably. Brown has kinda fallen off the table.</p>
<p>^actually D has been 9-11 for eons, brown's been about 15 for eons too (perhaps underrated by the rankings). chicago for under grad rankings is at a peak.</p>

<p>(Wow, I love how we don't even need to spell out the whole word to know what it means.)</p>
<p>USNews data (<a href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search):%5B/url%5D">http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search):</a>

<p>As poker players say, if you look around the room and can't figure out who's the easy money, it's you.</p>
<p>*** is VD?</p>
<p>yeah, i don't get what VD is. Is it Rutgers (cause they have their own venereal disease)? what is it?</p>
<p>Funny!
VD=Vandy</p>
<p>"*** is VD?"
"yeah, i don't get what VD is. Is it Rutgers (cause they have their own venereal disease)? what is it?"</p>
<p>cummon guys the rankings were already online when you posted.</p>
<p>ridiculous to say that penn is equal with caltech. caltech is #1 in the country imo, for what it does. hands down strongest student body.</p>
<p>I don't know about that. When I visited, I wasn't really impressed by the students I spoke with. Either I had unbelievable B.O., Ebola, or they were a bit anti-social.</p>
<p>"strongest student body" doesn't exactly imply "strongest social skills," but we certainly do have normal people here. come on a tour - our guides are good people to talk to!</p>
<p>Don't worry, your rep was saved by a nice girl majoring in English with a passion for photography I met</p>
<p>Duke/Penn too high, Brown too low. Otherwise you really can't complain about the rankings.</p>
<p>So which of these colleges have the best or good computer science departments?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nah, Penn’s been the front runner of the middle ivies for a good decade now. Can’t really argue with that. Brown does seem to be making a comeback, though.</p>

<p>Many schools have great computer science programs…select colleges first based on fit and then evaluate their programs. After all, you could change your mind about your major.</p>
