US News & World Report Best Environmental Engineering Programs - Thoughts?

[trentin0]

Hi!  I'm trying to find the best environmental engineering MS programs in the US and I saw this 2020 rankings from US News & World Report: https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/environmental-engineering-rankings

1. Stanford University and University of California -- Berkeley (tied)

3. University of Michigan -- Ann Arbor

4. University of Illinois -- Urbana-Champaign

5. Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Texas -- Austin (Cockrell) (tied)

7. Virginia Tech

8. Carnegie Mellon University

9. Cornell University and University of California -- Davis and Yale University (tied)

12. Duke University (Pratt) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Minnesota -- Twin Cities (tied)

I'm taking the list with a big grain of salt, but what do you guys think of it?  In particular, any schools missing from the list or overrated by it?  Which schools' environmental engineering MS programs do you think are best for getting good jobs/admissions into the best PhD programs?
