Naturally the schools have rankings and positive attributes about them that made you apply to them. Though one part of the decision which is big when making an opinion about schools is what area of CS are you in and what is your final motivation. Of the list I am only familiar with Rutgers, and with Rutgers I would say there is certainly a few areas it is better at than others. I am sure that applies for the other schools.

So I would look at which one is best for your particular interest.

So Rutgers is also a well-known cs school, then what is the specific area in Rutgers that is better?

Thanks for giving suggestion, very helpful!
