If you look at csrankings.org, another site used to rank computer science programs, Virginia Tech is actually 51st and George Mason is 32st. While their methodology is also questionable if trying to determine the quality of an undergraduate program, it still demonstrates that ranking lists are not always fantastic at capturing how good an program is. Now, onto my own experiences.
