A bit harsh. You might want to check your perception. According to U.S. News and World Report its graduate school ranks #20.

Yeah a bit harsh but with reasons. When I look over that list I see UT Austin up at #9 in a tie. I've known for years that the UT Austin program was worthwhile, because it is. I'll stand by the assertion that Rice isn't known as a hotbed of tech, but it is a very fine institution with, I'm sure, excellent metrics in the U.S. News & World Report scoring system...mostly because it's expensive, small, and extremely picky with its applicants.

Agreed, and this is coming from a UT Austin grad. Hook 'Em!
