Sounds good, thanks for your response!

csrankings.org places Rutgers at 25th and Northeastern at 20th. That ranking uses publications at top conferences and journals, so both universities have great researchers in a variety of areas. They may have some differences depending on specialty. What sub-discipline will you study?

Hi! I recently took the GRE and felt satisfied with my scores at first. I scored 165V/170Q which pleased me greatly. However, the writing score came back as a 4.0. I am a native English speaker, and I write well when I have time to revise my work. Should I retake the GRE to try and improve that score? Or do CS admissions committees not care? I will likely apply to a PhD program in Fall 2018 or 2019, so I have time to study if a retake would improve my admissions prospects.
