#

Hey Aggies, what are the stats looking like for an a highschool student to be admitted to Elec Eng/Mech Eng

weary gorge
#

Otherwise you'd be admitted to general engineering

#

I had a 3.3/4.1 with 1560 + national merit finalist

oak bridge
#

nuh uh i got a 4.0 uw 4.58 w 1430 (740 math), i guess im gen eng

#

also only first quarter not top 10% cuz i ws a junior transfer and my school is uber competive

weary gorge
#

Even majors like cs have been accepting a lot

weary gorge
#

Engineering honors should be better

#

Let me check rq

#

University honors and engineering honors give you the same benefits I believe

#

But university honors you have to take a 1 credit hour class for honors

#

And engineering honors gets you honors advisors specific to your major

woven geyser
#

university honors is a headache freshman year

#

engineering honors is a headache senior year

#

just do engineering honors and drop it before you grad

untold dagger
#

is engi rolling?

#

a friend of mine submitted his back in september but he still hasnt heard back

#

i submitted my app 3-4 weeks after him and got my results back pretty quick

#

so am confused

weary gorge
untold dagger
#

also how expensive is it to off campus apartment compared to dorms?

weary gorge
#

I heard back already this time last year

untold dagger
#

1400 sat and a 4.6 gpa should be plenty to get in right

weary gorge
#

Yeah

#

In howdy

untold dagger
#

oh

#

my howdy doesnt work

#

even if ais isnt updated?

#

oh

#

for howdy

#

did u have a tamu email

#

or did u make a tamu email?

#

my howdy doesnt log in cause my gmail connected to microsoft and it messes everything up

weary gorge
#

Also regarding off campus apartments

#

It's really just closer to campus is more expensive

untold dagger
#

do you live off campus?

weary gorge
#

Yes

untold dagger
#

i heard theres a lot more cost to dorming

weary gorge
#

Only thing I can think of is a required meal plan

untold dagger
#

dining hall pass is required w dorming and i heard theres extra things like that too

weary gorge
#

But imo meal plan is very convenient

untold dagger
#

for u at least

#

is it cheaper to live off or dorm

weary gorge
weary gorge
#

But they reduced my rates next year to 850

#

There are really cheap dorms

#

Just depends on if ur fine sharing room and bathroom

untold dagger
#

oh so ur sharing a room w someone

#

ive been looking at northgate and ucentre

#

its super nice but northgate hella expensive lol

weary gorge
untold dagger
#

oh thats nice

woven geyser
#

i hate dorming

#

i like having my own private space

#

sharing a bedroom with someone = 0 privacy

#

next year im doing apartment w/ some friends for 720/mo

untold dagger
#

i need to find somewhere cheap

weary gorge

rustic cradle

rustic cradle
#

glacial summit
#

im oos so i wasnt expecting it

untold dagger
#

woven geyser
#

#

but do expect a physical admit package

visual ibex
#

and there was a way you could check through howdy portal a couple days earlier

jagged ether
#

#

a&m or ut

rustic cradle
#

hard owl

untold dagger

woven geyser
untold dagger
#

for tamu aggie to medicine early assurance program\

#

is it you applying after your freshmen year

#

#

Pretty sure last year they did interviews over winter break

woven geyser
#

brown foundation ghosted me after putting me on a shortlist and requesting letters of recommendation

#

weary gorge

#

around 150 per year

weary gorge
#

Like 1k at tamu rn

#

Oh

#

Still tho

#

10k times 600

woven geyser
#

its probably funded by some kind of endowment

#

like 400*42k + 200*120k

jagged ether
#

did yall have to take the tsi

weary gorge
weary gorge
woven geyser
#

thats 40.8mil/yr, so you could fund that purely off capital gains with a 612mil principal

woven geyser
weary gorge
#

Oh

jagged ether
weary gorge
weary gorge
woven geyser
#

divide by 4

#

you only need a 153mil principal to fund the scholarship

#

endowment money

weary gorge
#

Only 153 mil 😭

woven geyser
#

if you put 72k a year into the market, you have enough money to become financially independent after only 15 years

weary gorge
#

Interesting

#

Doable if you start with 200k

woven geyser
#

yep

weary gorge
#

Or like 150k

woven geyser
#

this is how you build generational wealth

jagged ether

as if it was income

weary gorge

1.08 mil after 15 yrs

jagged ether
woven geyser
#

i believe just like regular income

weary gorge
#

Jeez

#

70k a year

woven geyser
#

but capital gains withdrawn from a roth ira is not taxed

jagged ether
woven geyser
#

i think i saw somewhere that you can withdraw the principal before youre old

jagged ether
#

jagged ether

how early

#

you're still spending your young years doing stuff you don't like

weary gorge
#

How much do quant makr

jagged ether
#

Quantitative finance (Quant) salaries, especially from top "Ivy" level schools (Ivy League + similar caliber), are extremely high, starting well into the six figures for entry-level roles (often $250K-$400K+ total comp) and escalating rapidly with bonuses, with senior quants at elite firms like Citadel, Jane Street, or Two Sigma potentially earning $500K to over $1 Million annually, depending on performance and role.
