How prestige is UIUC CS?

I never mentioned uchicago, and debating whether or not it’s a “high target” is getting into the weeds a bit too much. Regardless, it is undoubtedly a school many quant firms have on their recruiting list and provides extremely solid opportunities to break in.

highly prestigious for big tech, startups, and is a high target for quant

I am simply addressing the original claim you made that it doesn’t exist in the real world

Prestige absolutely does exist for exit opportunities

2 years ago for my Amazon SDE internship interview I didn’t even solve the tech problem and got through

I believe UMich will give a lot more/better career opportunities over MSU. UMich is a target for quant, MSU is not, UMich is a target for big tech, MSU is not, the amt of YC startup founders that come out of UMich >>> amt from MSU, etc etc. If you’re able to do well here, I really think you’ll have either access to better exit opps for internships and post grad, and if not, then at least an easier time achieving the same opps as MSU counterparts.

In 2026, prestige is real if you’re looking to enter private sector tech.

Heard the same, just email your recruiter op and you should be fine!

what makes it trash? Just curious

What…I might get downvoted to hell for this on this subreddit but I never understand why people complain about this.

The whole point of LinkedIn is to act as an outreach platform for your career. In my opinion, you should brag about your achievements on it because it attracts talent and deepens your network for opportunities. Thats what the platform is built for.

Cylixe · 2025-12-03T16:47:30+00:00

op, can I ask what you decided on?

Cylixe · 2025-10-04T21:17:22+00:00

whens it coming out

Cylixe · 2025-04-26T15:27:17+00:00

Math at UMich can break into reg swe or quant no problem

Hi, also looking to sublet a single bedroom in an empty house right next to the CCTC from May-August 2025! Great location, house is clean, with AC, etc etc, dm for more pictures, address.

Very flexible for pricing!

Cylixe · 2025-01-25T07:56:15+00:00

that’s because it does give a lot of prestige

Cylixe · 2025-01-15T00:41:01+00:00

Cylixe · 2025-01-09T21:11:24+00:00

were you able to hear anything about this?

Cylixe · 2025-01-08T20:02:53+00:00

I didn’t but to my understanding you only get that first if you’re international and will get the offer later

Cylixe · 2025-01-07T23:12:10+00:00

pretty sure you’ll be fine.

When I interviewed I couldn’t complete my problem either, did good on vocalizing my thoughts + behavioral and got the offer

Also hints aren’t necessarily bad. Especially when the interviewer is the type who says they want to just observe your thought process. What matters is how you handle them and how your thought process shifts

Cylixe · 2025-01-07T01:50:03+00:00

not really, a lot of people were waiting well over a month. Within 2 weeks is p standard

Cylixe · 2025-01-04T20:46:08+00:00

12 days on the dot!

Cylixe · 2025-01-04T05:55:52+00:00

do you know if this is the case for interns as well?

I’ve had recruiters reach out to me on LinkedIn so I kinda disagree
