By all other measures it's still a very good school for Comp-Sci, especially considering that it's a public university with somewhat reasonable tuition. Also, while the general acceptance rate is high, you do need a 3.5 GPA to get into the Comp-Sci program.

Oh, I'm not disputing that Amherst is a good school, just pointing out that that metric is a stupid way to rank schools.
