I think the most important thing to consider is, what you want to accomplish once you get out of a top university. Lets take Berkeley for example, its rated among the top 10 in computer science but its admission criteria is very stringent.They may require a very high GRE score and some excellent recommendation letters.
The idea is to come to graduate program that is respected in the field and not just being attached to a name such as Stanford.

In the end, it really doesn't matter which school you went to, its graduate program that needs to be good.

Pakistan Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), jointly launched by Habib Bank (HBL) and S&P Global, is showing sustained growth in manufacturing for the last several months. It has been consistently above 50, indicating expansion. This indicator disagrees with contraction reported by Pakistan Bureau and Statistics (PBS) Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) indicator. What accounts for this discrepancy? Is it because the LSM tracks only a subset of industries tracked by PMI? Is there a difference…
