UT Austin Turing Scholars Class of 2024

Has anyone been accepted to Turing Scholars for the Class of 2024 yet?

Hi, I have been accepted into the Turing Scholars class of 2024.

I was contacted by Calvin Lin early January regarding my application, where he asked me to set up an interview on Skype or in person. Since I lived close enough to him, I went down to UT in person and we had a technical interview. I won’t spoil the interview prompt because he asked me specifically not to, but it was a challenging problem that required quite a bit of thinking. A couple of weeks later, I received an email saying that my MyStatus was updated and then I was accepted!

  • See y’all at >goto_Turing in 2020!

My Stats:
SAT 2 Math 2 - 800
SAT Math- 800
4.0 GPA
I took AP CSP and CSA and got 5s on both of them.

These are obviously highlights, I didn’t do nearly as well in EBRW or my other subject test. But I had the base-level knowledge of

  1. How to code
  2. What makes coding efficient (Big O notation)
  3. Thinking somewhat outside of the box.

I hope this helped!

I was! I really didn’t think I was gonna get in because I don’t really have any crazy extracurriculars like I saw on the previous accepted profiles.

@StreamsLambda did you have to do an interview?

@Aziophi Nope. I didn’t think I was gonna get in because I hadn’t gotten an interview, but thankfully I did. Should I post my stats?

@StreamsLambda doesn’t matter to me lol, go ahead if you want
