Beside honor, what is special about Turing scholar in UT Austin?

[Anonymous]

Any advantage in job market, research, prep for PhD, etc? As it is highly competitive, there must be some reason.

Yes, advantage in the job market. They have a much easier time with freshman summer internships, especially locally, and that snowballs. Of course selection bias is in play, but that's always the case.

Not sure anything official. Just from my personal knowledge, its placement is as good as CMU SCS, including top quant trading firms, AI engineering, and FAANG type SWE jobs. I believe its placement is as good as any college not named MIT.

OP here. My DS applied for it, no news yet. Public school, almost the highest rigor, 4.0/4.8; SAT 1570; AMIE; school math team captain; one non-profit organ President. Chance?

My kids didn’t apply but heard they’re more merit based than elite schools. Just apply.
