ACM ICPC Results Across Seven Years Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Don't put anything here Breadcrumb Text I've been looking at some literature comparing computer science education between countries and noticed that the results of ACM International Collegiate Programing Competition are often brought up as a sign of a particular country being strong or week. However, people usually cite a single year and given that the winners tend to move around, looking at one year at a time could be very misleading. So, I decided to try to look at the ACM ICPC data across multiple years (1998-2005), in order to see which countries and universities have _consistently_ scored in the top 50. This involved finding the results from all years on the [ICPC Website](http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/), cleaning up the data to make sure the same school doesn't appear by different names, and assigning schools to countries. The table below shows the universities ranked first by the number of time they scored in the top 50 and then by their best rank. For each school, the table shows the ranks that they got when they were in the top 50. The superscript number next to the rank is the year when this rank was achieved. For countries, I marked "California" separately from the res of the US because of my own interest - it's not a political statement about California vs. Jesusland. <table class='real_table'><tr>
