Damn. Super bullish on CMU. Somehow, they seem routinely left out of the top CS schools discussion at least in mainstream discourse: MIT, Stanford, Cal, .... Seen a disproportionate amount of stellar research come from there. Also, interestingly, I have met really incompetent people from all the other top 3 schools but am yet to meet an incompetent CMU SCS alum -- wtf are they feeding them in pitsburgh??
