What's the reputation of USC in Tech?

Different websites show different rankings. Wanted to know among FAANG peeps out there where does the reputation of USC lies, as USC boasts about it's strong networking foothold in the tech industry. Top 20 CS in the country? EDIT : Asking bcz of this article https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/967985/silicon-valley-companies-like-apple-aapl-hires-the-most-alumni-of-these-10-universities-and-none-of-them-are-in-the-ivy-league/amp/

Silicon Valley hires the most alumni of these 10 universities, and none of them are in the Ivy League

It is legendary for EE. Trash for everything else.

Legendary is an exaggeration. MIT and Berkeley will be written down in the history books, USC is meh in comparison

😂...ok icebarrage. If you think it's legendary. Ok. 🤣

There is absolutely no bar to get into Usc cs grad program. Anyone willing to pay can get in.

Maybe because there’s no bar for basically any CS grad program? Why would you get a Master’s in CS unless you are pivoting your career

This article does not take into account size of class. It is biased toward proximity (California) and large size university classes. The Ivy league universities it mentions that are not on the list are east coast and very selective as opposed to largest class sizes. How you set up your metrics matters.

2nd opinion for spoiled white kid or exploited Asian student with nothing in between

At least I don't know anyone from USC when I interned at google in MTV. I never worked there full time, since I am from Europe, they placed me in Europe... so my experience is limited to interns / my team. People I knew in google MTV - 2 stanford, 1 cmu, 1 kansas state, 1 mit, 1 harvard, 1 university of washington, and like 50 university of waterloo so... move to canada if you want to get into faang in sillicon valley I guess.

USC does not matter. LeetcodeU matters.
