2. 2023 USNews US Computer Major Ranking Analysis
In this ranking, we can see that various colleges and universities are fiercely competitive, and many schools are ranked side by side. Such a high overlap is relatively rare in other majors.
Carnegie Mellon University , MITh, Stanford and UCB are tied for the first place. They are well-deserved prestigious universities in the United States. Both comprehensive and specialized ranks are stable TOP levels, and the competition for applications is also very fierce.
Cornell University , Georgia Institute of Technology , Princeton University , UIUCh tied for fifth place, among which UIUC is the most eye-catching. After all, it ranks 40+ in the comprehensive ranking of American universities. It is relatively easy to apply for non-engineering majors. If you are a computer major, you must take the level of applying for Ivy League and treat it strictly.
Caltech and University of Washington Seattle tied for ninth. It is not necessary to say that the TOP level is difficult. Although Huada Seattle is ranked outside the 50th overall, don’t underestimate its CS major and rarely admit international students.
CS rankings include Purdue University , University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Maryland Parker, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Virginia Institute of Technology. The comprehensive rankings of these universities are not very high, and the application difficulty is moderate, but the ranking of computer majors is very high. If you want to apply for computer majors, then these universities are very good goals.
3. Adjustment of computer science application policies for various schools
CS applications are getting more and more popular, and competition is getting more and more fierce. Therefore, many applicants have the idea of "save the country in a curve", that is, first enter majors that are not very competitive, and then apply to transfer to CS major after entering university. However, this trick may not work in the future...
1, University of Michigan Ann Arbor
adjusted the CS major enrollment policy for students in 2023Fall and later:
Students who are admitted to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in the fall of 2023 must be selected to take a computer science major before applying for the major (students in Ann Arbor, Michigan will usually apply for a major after completing one year of undergraduate courses, obtaining corresponding academic results and meeting specific conditions). This major change in
will affect many students who hope to first attend the University of Michigan School of Arts and Sciences before transferring to computer majors. This policy is the same for students in the School of Engineering and the School of Literature, Science and Arts (LSA).
policy applies only to CS majors and is not for students seeking a Computer Engineering (CE) or Data Science (DS) course in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and other interdisciplinary fields. Therefore, new applicants or existing students can be selected for CS as follows:

If your target is a CS major in Ann Arbor, Michigan, you can only apply for CS directly during the application stage, or do not choose CS at the application stage and then enter university before applying. If you apply for CS directly when applying for college but are rejected, you will not be able to apply for CS from other majors.
UIUC School of Engineering announced that starting from the summer and fall semesters of 2022, students on campus will not be accepted for transfer to the CS major of the School of Engineering!
This policy is for UIUC students, and the direct application of freshmen and transfer applications from other universities will not be affected. What cannot be transferred is the CS major of the School of Engineering, and the CS+X (other majors) projects under other colleges will not be affected.
UCSD recently announced that the Department of Computer Science and Engineering will increase the number of students who will directly enter the CSE major from the fall of 2022, and at the same time reduce the number of places to change majors in the school in the later stage.

It has been highly praised by Xinhua News Agency and CCTV.com . The Study Abroad Supervision Network provides students with free study abroad consultation planning suggestions, recommending reliable study abroad institutions, reviewing study abroad plans and intermediary service agreements, and is entrusted by students to provide supervision services, supervise the service process of study abroad agencies and "pay in advance".
