Like most people - You're looking at one set of rankings, I usually look at multiple sets and create an average from them all... It's not that great with any one of those rankings, not everyone is going to be looking at that rank unless you really go to those well known institutions with a great reputation in your country, province, state, etc. When I did a review a few years ago, all the institutions we recommend were in the top 10% in the world! COSC was in the top 12.5%, I was impressed yet stumped on how all the institutions I looked made it that high...
Me neither. However my region would not attest or equavalize CS degrees that are online from the US unless they were in specific ranking (and they use QS). I guess because in their point of view it's a way to weed out unranked online institions or diploma mill.
In fact I was quite surprised that the embassy would not even attest the degree unless it was RA. so I'm kinda wary of repeating the UoPeople experience, trying to find the best QS for the least budget (seems to be the safest option worldwide tbh).
