UC Irvine: What kind of a reputation does it hold for Computer Science?

[Amogh]

I'v applied there and really liked a project being carried by one of the professors and would love to go there if I'm admitted, so I was wondering what the college's reputation is like since I intend to apply for PhD after I'm done with my Master's degree.

I'v received rejects from UCSB, U Wisc-Madison, U Maryland-CP and Purdue University. Hoping to get in here.

What'r your thoughts about the place?

10 applications! amazing

I've applied too to UC Irvine, Donald Bren School of Computing, but haven't received any confirmation yet. The tracker was down and I wonder why they are so late.

Does anybody know about UC Irvine Computing and informatics department? I am afraid it is ranked #30, but looking at the published papers, the labs and the proximity to Silicon Valley I would doubt about the ranks. Any Donald Bren's student?

Thanks again!

If you do a great Master's at UC Irvine, you should stand a pretty good chance at top universities for a PhD. They've quite a few good people there.
