Don't taking people's opinions here as fact, since most of the times they're wrong, like how people are saying UCSD is a top 10 when it's ranked 20th (it's still a good grad school though). Rankings aren't everything, but it's still useful to get a list of schools and you can think of the other factors for yourself (cost, location, fields offered, type of school, etc.).

Can you please recommend some mediocre schools to apply to for computer science PhD or Masters? My biggest stipulation and I won't bend on it is that it has to be warm weather. I am already applying to UF, UT, UC-Irvine. Thanks.

Well most people here don't have a US News subscription so everything is based on the free listings. UCSD is ranked #13 for "engineering", but I assume the ranking you posted is specific to the CS program and more accurate.

Actually, computer science actually isn't considered engineering by US News 🙂

yea it's considered a science, while computer engineering is in the "engineering" section... go figure
and people skip cmu because if you think cmu is mediocre... well you have unusually high standards.
