Easily UT Turing

#

The uni’s in Austin

#

One of the most liberal/progressive cities in America that’s booming with job opps. You really will never have to venture out into “real” Texas

#

And Turing gives u so many resources

#

Regarding the land thing, you can just buy land in other states if that actually passes which I highly doubt will happen

#

If it was regular UT, it’d be a much tougher decisions. But Turing is a really great program

#

And you can always find your own scene. Austin’s a big city, so frat culture doesn’t control the city like it sometimes does at uni’s in small towns

#

are you a texas resident/ut student?

sharp forge Mar 31, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

No i got in, but i’m going to my in state school. A lot of my friends are in Turing scholars tho

#

If ur aiming for HFT, Quant it’s by far the best of the 3

#

If u got into ucsd cs

#

It’d be MUCH tougher

dim canyon Mar 31, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

yeah

sharp forge Mar 31, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

But physics, i’d do ut instead

dim canyon Mar 31, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

got second majored

sharp forge Mar 31, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

Yea tuff

#

It’s fine tho

#

All good schools

#

UVA shouldn’t be in this convo tho

dim canyon Mar 31, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

why not?

#

I thought it is prestigious

sharp forge Mar 31, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

Great school

#

But expensive and not great at CS

#

UT T10 at CS and Turing is honestly T5 Quality

dim canyon Mar 31, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

oh forgot to mention one thing actually

#

i got into UIUC for cs +math

sharp forge Mar 31, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

My friends at turing are at quant firms if u wanna go down that route

#

Oh nice nice

dim canyon Mar 31, 2023, 12:50 AM

#

which is better

#

for quant

sharp forge Mar 31, 2023, 12:50 AM

#

Tough call

#

I would say turing cause of the opps associated w it

#

Ur not gonna be struggling if u do uiuc cs + math for quant opps lol

#

I would recommend visiting both uni’s tbh

#

Both give similar amazing opportunities and ur gonna be there for next 4 years

#

Get the vibe as they’re both amazing uni’s

#

Uiuc seems to fit ur vibe more but u should visit

dim canyon Mar 31, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

hmm ic

#

tyty

(late response but) nah that's absolute cap lol

sharp forge Apr 4, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

ut turing > uiuc for quant

#

notice i didn't say

#

ut > uiuc for quant

sharp forge Apr 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

forest elk (late response but) nah that's absolute cap lol

half the reason uiuc sends those kids is cause of location

forest elk Apr 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

sharp forge ut turing > uiuc for quant

ok sorry ngl I misread your comment

#

best of the 3

sharp forge Apr 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

yea ut is worst of 3 for quant lol

#

i was talking abt turing program

forest elk Apr 4, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

but honestly I doubt that turing actually makes a difference

sharp forge Apr 4, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

idk man

forest elk Apr 4, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

I'm willing to bet it's all selection bias

sharp forge Apr 4, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

my friends at turing work at Jump and HRT

#

prolly idk

#

like ur not gonna STRUGGLE at any of the schools

#

idk what his goal is tho

#

and where he wanna lives

#

he should prolly pick uiuc based off his vibe

forest elk Apr 4, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

happy to continue this discussion elsewhere if you want--I don't wanna derail this thread too much

#

oh jk op is gone lol

sharp forge Apr 4, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

i mean i really dont think there's much to discuss

#

uiuc vs ut turing are both good for quants

#

imo, turing's better but it's subjective

#

based off his original post where he talked about hating parties, the stereotypical movie college experience, i would've recommended uiuc
