I’m looking for the best colleges for MS in computer science. One of my friends said that Rice University has a great MS program. However, my cousin who’s currently a student at Rice told me that getting accepted is really competitive nowadays. He also mentioned that there’s a minimum GRE score requirement. I can’t find it anywhere on their site, so could someone help me find out what their GRE score requirement is and also list the admission requirements for the MS in Computer Science program?
Cheers!

If you’re looking for the top best universities and colleges that offer a masters program in computer science, you can also look into Georgia Tech or Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since those schools focus on technology, you’ll be sure to find a healthy and competitive environment to improve your knowledge in Computer Science.
Rice University is also a good choice though. Their program is supposedly better than Harvard or Brown’s. As with many other colleges and universities, there is no required minimum score for the GRE tests.
