Top 50 Computer Science Schools

Hey guys, I'm starting to research colleges for a computer science major. I know about the top 20 or so schools, but I'd also like to know some of the less well-known yet still great schools. Can anyone list the top 50 computer science schools overall?

While providing a comprehensive list of the top 50 computer science schools might not be feasible here, I can definitely provide you with a list of well-regarded schools for computer science beyond the top 20. This list includes a mix of research universities, public universities, and liberal arts colleges. These schools are not ranked in a particular order.
