Ask HN: Why can no school match the rigor of Carnegie Mellon(CMU) CS curriculum?

  • Pardon? What do you mean no other school does that? USA Today ranks CMU as tied with MIT, Standford, and Berkeley. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/computer-scien...

    Coming in next are Cornell, Georgia Tech, Princeton, and the University of Illinois, also tied.

    These are all excellent programs consistently producing tremendously good engineers.

    Other schools are tops for other areas. Oregon State has a much better forestry program than CMU, for example.
