Sure, but 100 years ago none of them would have thought of moving to Northern CA, where now they are more likely to go there than the East Coast.

- bogomipz 9y agoMIT, CMU, Princeton, Harvard and Cornell are all top schools for C.S. and those are all still on the East Coast. None of these schools have any difficulty attracting top talent from around the world.
- vonmoltke 9y agoI got skewered in /r/cscareerquestions several months ago for suggesting that any Ivy had a top-tier CS program. It may not be reality, but there is definitely a strong perception.
- tnecniv 9y agoIt's a very odd perception that I think comes from their size. They tend to be smaller, more focused departments. The education quality is still high and everyone's favorite companies recruit at them.
- hari_seldon_ 9y agoAgreed! If you actually talk to recruiters and teams at top-tier companies, then the stronger Ivies still do well when it comes to CS careers.
- Paul-ish 9y agoThey punch above their weight, but it still helps to be big.

- barry-cotter 9y agoDepends what you mean by top tier. If you look at where CS professors did their Ph.D.s and where they end up teaching the top four are clearly CMU, MIT, Stanford and Berkeley. None of those are an Ivy. A school can be great without literally being top tier. UT Austin is a great law school but there is a top tier in law schools and it's not part of it[1].
