golden tapir
Virginia Tech is pretty good too as a low target/safety

west bobcat

west bobcat

A lot of messages but gonna mention Purdue
We have a Purdue ai major here actually
@floral shell Go spread your propaganda
floral shell
PURDUEEEEE
floral shell
Hell yeah
We got an ai major AND an ai concentration within our cs major
Insane and easy to get research opps and clubs and stuff for ai and cs
We rank rly highly for quant as well
But u being test optional might really hurt ur app
mystic crypt
NCSU > UNC for cs UNC>NCSU for business
mystic crypt
I like both of their campuses they both offer different kind of things and centennial is right next to Raleigh while UNC is chapel hill

Literally what I’m trying to do too
Combine tech + business
Sorry for replying so late I was just scrolling through this thread
What’s your list of schools so far? I’m actively looking as well
Extremely interested in fintech/quant
west bobcat
Extremely interested in fintech/quant
same but dont have stats for to get into those crazy schools
ill prob try to transfer later thats the plans
some targets for that though are UIUC, uchi, mit, etv
etc*
deep wadi
same but dont have stats for to get into those crazy schools
Your stats aren’t bad at all man
I considered IU Kelley but I’m not too sure how good it is
deep wadi
ill prob try to transfer later thats the plans
Like 2 years in?
My dream’s Stanford but it’s extremely hard to get in
Duke too
floral shell
purdue :D
floral shell
Is Purdue’s RD deadline even still open
Oh wait yeah I don’t think so 😔
west bobcat
I considered IU Kelley but I’m not too sure how good it is
i might apply iu
ive been consdering it
they have good program for quant
deep wadi
same but dont have stats for to get into those crazy schools
Lowk right now I’m looking at IU Kelley, Utah, and Penn State
deep wadi
they have good program for quant
Yeah I have Econ - Quant as my backup major
You should try for Kelley cuz it’s prestigious
Plus you’d get a great business education too at one of the top institutions in the country
I’m also taking quant so
Going for IU for anything other than Kelley is kinda iffy I think
That’s what ima do; I’m gonna try to combine them
deep wadi
some targets for that though are UIUC, uchi, mit, etv
MIT as a target is insane
deep wadi
Plus if you mark it for Business Exploratory it gives you more options to look around
There’s a finance track too but I put BE just for variety
I don’t think you officially declare until a year or two in
west bobcat
Lowk right now I’m looking at IU Kelley, Utah, and Penn State
utah and penn state? are those schools you want to aim for for quat?
west bobcat
MIT as a target is insane
not saying target school but those are shchool that big finance like jp and citadel hire out of
west bobcat
I don’t think you officially declare until a year or two in
yeah yea h fs
deep wadi
utah and penn state? are those schools you want to aim for for quat?

You should try for Kelley cuz it’s prestigious
