As a result of the acceptance rate, financial aid, and graduation rate of both school’s, which are nearly indistinguishable, students often turn to ask:
Which school offers the better academic possibilities? Or better housing? And lastly, which school holds the better student life experience?
Amherst or Williams? 
Williams College – Jewish Religious Center. Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA. Architect: Herbert Newman Associates AIA, P.C., according to Williams College website.
Amherst’s College Row, consisting of Williston, South, North, and Appleton halls, with Johnson Chapel at center.
Firstly, Amherst promotes a curriculum which promotes flexibility and independence. Other than a first year seminar, a standard practice across the nation, the school has no core requirements.
This allows students to take responsibility for their intellectual growth, prompting many to double major, without the hindrance of balancing required classes. Furthermore, Amherst is a member of the five college consortium, enabling students to explore classes across schools. Although Williams offers an open curriculum, the school still requires students to take three classes in the arts and humanities. Three in science and mathematics and three in social sciences.
Additionally, students become required to take one course to improve students’ ability to reason abstractly. Furthermore, one course that examines various cultures, and two writing intensive courses. These requirements often prevent students from being able to fully explore their academic interests. As a result of preventing them from taking classes that overlap with core requirements.

First-years at Amherst become housed around the main quad on campus, in newly renovated dorms. Oftentimes in the warmer months, first-years awaken to student’s playing music on the quad or the sounds of frisbee games.
After a student’s first year, student’s are able to choose their dorm location for the following year. Students are able to enter the housing process with friends, often being able to live in the same dorm.
The majority of dorms on Amherst’s campus you will find centrally located. Moreover, several of them are air conditioned with elevators and lounges. In addition to newly renovated dorms, Amherst also boasts a new state of the art science center. Filled with labs and study spaces, the science center is an integral part of campus life.

The surrounding town offers a vast array of restaurants. In addition, direct access to larger grocery stores that fulfill the needs of college students. The surrounding area also provides access to an expansive campus farm. And a winding bike path that allows students to explore the surrounding mountains and trails. This runs contrary to the surrounding town of Williams, which is significantly more rural and offers substantially less dining options. 
The debate between Amherst and Williams will forever drive the competition between the schools. However, if you look past the similar numbers and statistics of each school. Lastly, Amherst clearly offers a better experience for incoming students.
Which University has the largest endowment?
For example, if you are a school that doesn’t have an incredibly strong brand and are not selective, you had better have a reasonable cost and be able to demonstrate more than others that you deliver tangible outcomes for your students. If you are a big brand and selective (selectivity signals to the market that students have been “vetted” and are the cream of the crop) then the cost and demonstrated outcomes become less important. That said, demonstrated outcomes for students at such institutions usually exist but that may have more to do with the fact that those schools got the best students at the outset – i.e., they would have been successful anyway.
Said another way, what makes a poor university is one that gets the variables out of whack – if the brand is not powerful, it’s not selective, it’s expensive, and outcomes are not there, that is the worst possible place to be. 
In other words, endowments (for the most part) get big at schools that have very powerful brands, are very selective, and have amazing outcomes for their students. Those amazing outcomes are what generate the wealth that then goes back to the school in the form of gifts, thus increasing the endowment and allowing the institution to continue to secure fabulous students. To belabor the point, it’s no surprise that the top ten endowments in the U.S. fit the profile of selective schools with amazing brands:
1. Harvard
2. Yale
3. Stanford
4. Princeton
5. MIT
6. Penn
7. Notre Dame
8. Texas A&M
9. Michigan
10. Washington University St. Louis

When embarking on my college journey at Arizona State University, I was aware that it was not an Ivy-League institution or top ranked university. Due to extenuating financial and family related issues, I decided to let go of my acceptances to these “higher ranked” universities and committed to ASU, or better known as, “The Harvard of The West”.

While prestige and reputation are correlated to certain institutions, I am confident that my success is not confined to the U.S. News and World Report rankings. 
I am determined to make the most of my time here at ASU by actively creating and seeking out opportunities that align with my interests and career goals. So far, my interests and goals lie between finance and technology, or to some, “FinTech”. I have joined technology related research labs and clubs and have fought tooth and nail to increase the presence of FinTech and artificial intelligence related opportunities at ASU. I will ensure that ASU does not fall behind in Industry 4.0! Within my first year here at Arizona State University, I founded a “FinTech” club, launched a research lab on how artificial intelligence can be used in asset management that has grown into 15+ students, and am in the works of hosting an “AI in Finance” conference here at ASU in the fall of 2024.

Because I am able to be close to home and to my familial duties, I have been able to maintain a strong connection with my family and their well-being. Every day, it is through this commitment and sacrifice that remind me of the values of determination, success, and hard work. 
ASU provides me with an environment that nurtures personal growth, self-empowerment, independence, and resilience. The diverse student body at ASU has exposed me to various cultures, backgrounds, and viewpoints, nurturing a deeper appreciation for diversity and enhancing my ability to collaborate effectively. ASU offers an abundance of student clubs, organizations, and events catered to almost any range of interest or background. I am in awe of ASU’s dedication to ensure that all students can find or create a community to belong to and pursue their passions. 
During my time here at Arizona State University, I am also impressed with ASU’s strong emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship. ASU actively encourages me to think outside of the box and explore new ventures. Along the way, I have forged strong connections with amazing mentors and professors who are all key factors to who I am today. These strong, genuine connections have helped me stay focused on my path and have empowered me to become a creator, problem-solver, and change-maker all in one. Forks up!
I remember my first time at the University of Maryland. It was during my orientation, and I couldn’t help but glance around as I walked around the university. It was exciting! I sightsaw several locations, like the STAMP food court, the stadium, the McKeldin Library, and more. It wasn’t anything like I’ve experienced before. Everything just seemed so vast. I didn’t know if it was the number of people or the tall buildings, but I knew right then that this university was going to be my home for the next few years. 
Although everyone seemed nice, being in this new environment made it harder for me to talk to people. However, after gathering some courage, I introduced myself. And soon, I made a group of friends of my own. That was probably my most favorite part. And I met so many people that loved coding and math as much as I did. The idea of college just seemed so fun at that moment. And honestly, I’m more excited than ever for my next math and computer science courses that I’m taking in the fall. 
The class was much smaller than I originally thought. I was pretty shocked to realize there was only me and another student in the class. However, the instructor and other students were both really nice, and it made me feel like I fit right in at University of Maryland. I found the class itself to be pretty interesting, especially since I knew I had to improve my oral communication skills. Overall, I learned how to communicate effectively through this class in a wide case of different scenarios. 
As I just started college this summer, I can’t say too much on the campus experience. However, I’m already part of the University of Maryland’s Competitive Programming Club! It was the first club I joined at the University of Maryland, and I plan to stay until I graduate. I met some pretty cool people there, even a few who have participated in the ICPC, the greatest college competitive programming competition there is.
I’m also a research assistant at the University of Maryland, on a project led by Professor Saggese. Honestly, the work was pretty confusing at first, and I didn’t know how to start, but after trial and error, I started to get the hang of things. Everyone seemed pretty hard-working towards the project’s goal and it had an effect on me too. I initially started simply converting documents into markdown files and researching basic pair trading.
In the fall, we’ll be delving more into the advanced topics and research arbitrage in cryptocurrency. In my opinion, the research opportunities that UMD offers is one of the biggest parts of their learning experience. Through this opportunity, I learned how to use tools I normally don’t use, such as Docker and linters, and more. It is also one of my favorite activities to do at UMD. 
While my overall campus experience is still in its early stages, I love it. So far, it’s been a great journey, and I can’t wait for all the exciting memories that I’ll continue to make.
At OSU, my life is a harmonious blend of academic rigor, social engagements, and adapting to the dynamic weather of Columbus, Ohio. The campus, with its sprawling landscape, is a hub of activities that are as diverse as the changing seasons.
Every day is a new experience. My mornings are often greeted with the hustle and bustle of students making their way to classes. The architecture of the campus buildings, ranging from the historic to the modern, mirrors the eclectic mix of students. In this setting, the weather plays a pivotal role. The Ohio weather is known for its unpredictability, offering sunny, rainy, and snowy days sometimes all in one week.
Winter at OSU is a season of transformation. The campus, adorned with snow, takes on a serene, picturesque quality. It’s during these cold months that the indoor facilities, like the libraries and recreational centers, become our warm refuges. Despite the cold, the Buckeye spirit remains unwavering. We bundle up in our scarlet and gray, attending classes and football games with enthusiasm.
As spring emerges, the campus is reborn. Trees and flowers bloom, and the Oval becomes a vibrant gathering spot. Students are seen lounging, playing games, and soaking up the sun. The energy is infectious, and the improving weather marks the advent of outdoor events and festivals.
Academically, OSU is a powerhouse. With a plethora of courses and majors, I am spoilt for choice. Professors are not just educators but mentors, guiding me through the intricate paths of learning. The student organizations are as diverse as the student body, offering a platform for every interest and passion.
In conclusion, at OSU, I’m immersed in a diverse, energetic atmosphere amplified by the dynamic Ohio weather, offering a mix of academic and recreational activities.
Lastly, each campus’s weather shapes the student experience, influencing daily activities and the campus atmosphere, making every day a unique blend of learning and environmental interaction.

The Duke campus is a blend of Gothic architecture, lush green spaces, and serene spots like the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. Here, the weather adds a touch of grace to the already beautiful landscape. Winters are mild, with rare snowfall, allowing the campus’s architectural beauty and natural surroundings to shine year-round.
The mild weather ensures that the campus’s outdoor spaces are always teeming with activity. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon spent reading in the gardens or the exhilarating energy of a basketball game at the Cameron Indoor Stadium, the temperate climate enhances every experience.
Spring and fall at Duke are particularly enchanting. The gardens burst into a riot of colors, and the air is filled with a sense of renewal and anticipation. It’s during these seasons that outdoor study sessions, picnics, and walks around the campus are most popular.
Academically, Duke is intense. The curriculum is designed to push boundaries, fostering a culture of innovation and critical thinking. My peers and I are not just students but active contributors to the learning process. The close-knit community ensures that every voice is heard, and every perspective valued.
In conclusion, Duke provides an intimate, focused learning environment in the mild North Carolina climate, fostering close connections and intellectual rigor. In addition, Duke’s campus weather shapes the student experience, influencing daily activities and the campus atmosphere, making every day a unique blend of learning and environmental interaction. The climate of Duke enriches the distinct academic and social experiences, adding a sensory dimension to the journey of education and personal growth.

Within the academic realm, I encountered a particular issue related to group projects—specifically, a leadership style problem. I used to be a high-authority leadership style.

I still vividly remember my first year in Madison. I lived in a dormitory with a friendly girl from Milwaukee who was the first person to introduce me to American culture and help me adjust to life here.
Looking back to that year, I learned so much about the ideas, logic, and worldview of my roommate, and a portion of American youth, represented by her. It was a transformative experience that helped me integrate better into American society.

Is Georgia Tech good?
President Barack Obama at Georgia Tech, 2015.
I came in as an applied mathematics major and was easily able to find research, club and competition opportunities in my first year. When my interest switched to quantum computing, I was easily able to find the same amount of opportunities, even for such a niche field. Finally, when I settled with my ultimate career interest in quantitative finance, I met brilliant fellows, with whom I was able to share ideas and passion for this industry. 
An early picture of Georgia Tech.

I was able to explore fields of applied mathematics and physics. Later going into algorithms and quantum computing, ending with uncertainty quantification. This unique ability to explore not only improved my overall understanding of science but also provided me with the ability to use concepts I researched to approach any complex task creatively.

As a professional powerlifter I was able to find support from the university and local clubs to be able to prepare and continue competing for international titles. Continuing my chess career was great since we have a strong chess team. I was fortunate enough to join and meet plenty of fellows from the quantitative finance group.

Moreover, the balance that Georgia Tech has between rigorous academics and ability to fully express your interests makes it a perfect fit for ambitious and versatile students. 
Of course it can be tough. Our professor gave a good quote: “If students took just this class, everyone would have an “A”. But balancing 5 or 6… very tough”. It’s true, but it also comes with rewards. The rewards are a rapid increase in time management skills, collaboration, and even networking. Personally, to succeed in the class I read a lot of “Learning-how-learn” books to increase my productivity like Barbara Oakley – “Think like a Mathematician”, as well as meditation and concentration techniques which increased my productivity and research results.

And even though I had previous experience from studying in the UK, that was not at all the case. I was able to find a surprisingly large jewish community! One with plenty of cultural and religious events, and even Israeli career opportunities. Although, I was surprised that the majority of my friends ended up being in-state. It was great to learn the “southern” culture and provide a lot of international experience in return. 
In the end I think being a student at Georgia Tech is a very unique experience since the college takes the best of both worlds – the academic and research rigor of a world class institution with endless opportunities, and support/community building of a great and diverse southern college.

This combination is perfect for someone like me. Who didn’t have many opportunities for research and rigorous work in high school! However, now I can build that knowledge and network with passionate and unique people.

The most significant issue was the weather – the day was unseasonably hot. In addition, there was an acute shortage of shaded areas for guests. It seemed as though the event planners had not fully taken into account the sun’s intensity. And as a result, many of us needed to brave the scorching heat for the duration of the ceremony.
Given MIT’s traditional leaning towards esteemed academicians, industry leaders, and luminaries in various fields. It seemed to be a nod towards the evolving landscape of influence and success. Furthermore, initially, it seemed to offer a different perspective.

However, the speaker’s performance didn’t quite hit the mark. Despite his fame and popularity in the digital realm, his speech lacked the dynamism and inspiration typically expected in such an important occasion.
The iconic architecture of MIT really served as a majestic backdrop! Especially to this lifelong engineer! And of course the proud faces of the graduating students brought a palpable amount of excitement.
In conclusion, the MIT Graduation 2023 included its drawbacks. Moreover, particularly in terms of weather management and the choice of speaker, it was a momentous occasion worthy of celebration. The stunning photographs taken will forever remind us of the pride and joy of the day.

My journey at Boston University (BU) unfolded like a roller coaster ride!
Marked by dynamics of highs and lows. Ultimately forging a complex love-hate relationship with the  institution and the city of Boston. 
Upon my arrival at BU, I was initially excited by the anticipation of a curriculum tailored to my chosen concentrations. However, the structure of the business school led to disappointment. The  design of the curriculum demanded we undertake a multitude of courses outside our major before specializing. Thus, leading me to partake in classes in fields like philosophical logic and global health. 
While these courses were not my primary focus, they broadened my range of education and my  intellectual curiosity.

Parallel to my academic journey, the city of Boston itself represented another aspect of my BU  experience. Having become raised in the chaotic natures of global metropolises like New York, Shenzhen, and Taipei. As a result, Boston’s pace and quieter winters proved a challenging transition.
Amidst these challenges, BU has been a transformative force, profoundly shaping my personality and career aspirations. This institution introduced me to an extraordinary array of individuals. Friends, mentors, and advisors who have become an integral part of my life. Their unwavering  support and guidance have been instrumental in defining my outlook and preparing me for my  professional career. 
In retrospect, despite the rocky start and unexpected obstacles. My tenure at BU and life in Boston have been both enriching and rewarding. The downturns have become balanced by  incredible relationships and personal growth. So, while my BU experience has indeed been a  roller coaster ride. It’s been an exhilarating one that I would not trade for anything.

Let’s take a look at this school today!
University of Vienna: A Comprehensive Overview
Seal of the University of Vienna
The University of Vienna, located in Austria’s capital city, is one of the oldest and largest universities in Europe. Founded in 1365, the university has a long and rich history, contributing significantly to the academic, cultural, and intellectual life of the region.

Depiction of Vienna in the Nuremberg Chronicle, 1493
Following my graduation from high school in Morocco, I was always determined to study abroad and accumulate more experience in Mathematics. Thus, I sent out my application to the prestigious University of Vienna and got conditional admission to a full-time bachelor’s degree.
As expected, we started with heavy Analysis taught by a Complex analysis expert Bernhard Lamel. It was a great joy to see a competent mathematician illustrating the subject of Calculus in a very abstract way, especially for freshman students. “Bernhard Lamel knew all proofs of his favorite mathematician Walter Rudin by heart haha”. I had a mix of very nice, competent professors in the course of my Undergraduate, to name a few “Günther Hörmann, Michael Eichmair, Jiri Cerny, and Adrian Constantin…”. Toward the end of my Undergrad studies, I had a turning point and it is best described as follows: 
They say some real-life encounters can shape the trajectory of your life and this is exactly what happened to me as a bachelor’s student. At that time, I decided to be supervised by Professor Donninger. Our few regular meetings allowed me to observe the craftsmanship it takes to be a competent mathematician, from the ability to work from first principles to making guesses and formulating hypotheses, and then working one’s way to proving them.
Consequently, I intend to eventually apply to pursue Ph.D. studies or a research-type position in North America to become a well-rounded researcher who is not only competent and rigorous but also creative, innovative, and most importantly driven. All in all, I think the process of coming from a different country, background, and culture and yet proving myself has tremendously contributed to shaping me as a young/hungry mathematician as well as a mature human being.

Trinity’s arguably most famous alumnus, Truman Capote, photographed by Carl Van Vechten, 1948.
Trinity’s Computer Science (CS) and Robotics programs need a revamp. Moreover, there is one track of CS classes so there is only one class you can take a year — not like science electives etc, and I only know one person in the whole school who got a grade below an A in the class. This is because the CS curriculum is not challenging nor rigorous. Trinity needs more CS classes, teachers, and a better curriculum if they truly want to educate their students well. 
Separately, there are only two CS classrooms and they are the most unattractive classrooms ever. The CS department office is basically a closet. This shows how unimportant the school considers the CS department.
The Upper West Side and Central Park as seen from Top of the Rock observatory at Rockefeller Center. In the background to the west are the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge.
The team meets twice a week — not enough to actually make anything good — and the coach is less of a coach and more of a chaperone.  As a former member of the team I can attest that the coach mostly sat on his laptop scrolling through Amazon. 
This meant that all the coaching and organization was left to the one senior geek kid who knew a bunch about robotics through outside of school programs. Of course, this one senior is not an equipped coach and basically spent all his time doing everything robotics related because no one else was good enough or could receive the proper education to become good at robotics. Moreover, while our school may occasionally win awards at robotics tournaments, that is because we participate in the biggest joke of a competition. Our peer institutions — Horace Mann and Dalton — all have  serious robotics and CS programs, have teams and coaches that are actually good and compete at a more advanced level.

Is Dalton a good school?

Furthermore, I don’t necessarily expect the school’s math, science, and CS curricula to be at that level. However, it’s undeniable that STEM, especially CS, is becoming increasingly important in a tech-driven world. I’d even go as far as to suggest that Trinity should require students to take 1-2 years of CS. Of course, they should greatly expand the CS department to accommodate that. 
For instance, the school could shift the sophomore year CS course to freshman year (I did not find the freshman year courses, Design Thinking and Digital Storytelling, to be especially meaningful) and then open up multiple electives in junior and senior years, similar to what the History and English departments offer. I think the Math curriculum could also have more advanced course offerings in senior year, such as Multivariable Calculus, a fixed Linear Algebra course, and a rigorous proof-based course (in addition to Topics in Mathematics, which is a great elective.)
Trinity truly does a phenomenal job in the humanities — I see that especially now as I take humanities courses at Columbia — and the school could be even more impressive if its STEM department could offer a similarly formative experience for Trinity students, especially those who don’t consider themselves STEM students when they enter Trinity. I know that I was very much a math kid when I came into Trinity in seventh grade, and my high school experience truly expanded my interests into English, history, debate, journalism, and more. 
Student-teacher relations are great (one of the best benefits of a Trinity education.) I greatly appreciate all that the school has given me.

I think that Trinity’s STEM departments are substantially weaker than their excellent humanities counterparts. My largest issue with Trinity’s STEM classes, definitely Trinity’s problem-based math curriculum. The math department overwhelmingly supports the problem-based approach, and they only hire teachers who support the problem-based approach, leading to comparatively under qualified math teachers.
Is GGU a good university?
Is UCF Good? (rebellionresearch.com)
While the problem-based curriculum is a good idea in theory, Trinity’s ‘problem packets’ became poorly crafted and often led kids to be more confused than enlightened. PBL (problem based learning) discourages students more than it creates a lifelong passion for math.
To speak from personal experience, math was my favorite subject before attending Trinity, and I proudly considered myself a ‘math kid.’ Within two years of entering Trinity, and still to date, I see math as one of my weaker subjects and have little to no interest in pursuing a career in math or even taking any math classes in college. 
PBL, predicated on students teaching themselves math with guidance from teachers. Trinity teachers assign five two-sentence questions for homework, all of which require formulas and logic not yet derived or explained in class.  Students work on the problems for hours every night, trying to achieve enlightenment.  Unfortunately, this goal, usually not achieved.
Aside from students not having hours to spend on math homework every night, students will not blindly persevere to throw different math tools at the page in the hope of getting a correct answer. 
PBL diminishes the responsibility of teachers to teach and instead places that responsibility on the students themselves.  Our math classes are incredibly repetitive. We enter the classroom to review the previous night’s homework, and continue by working on new problems in groups. That lesson plan does not include any time for the teacher to instruct students; rather, the vast majority of teachers’ responsibilities are moderating discussions among the class and assigning students to present certain problems. 
A significant amount of the problems with PBL could become mitigated if teachers intervened to explain concepts when the class clearly stands highly confused. However, that has largely not taken place in my experience. In place of this teaching, I have heard more iterations of ‘reconsider your givens’ and ‘try that problem again’ than any human should have to endure. 
As my friends, assorted acquaintances, and I often say, the goal of Trinity’s math department is to decrease enrollment in honors classes and to destroy everyone’s passion for mathematics. 
Moreover, the vast majority of the students dislike the PBL curriculum. Even if I grant PBL the greatest amount of benefit of the doubt, it only works if you have phenomenal math teachers, of which Trinity has very few. 
“PBL is like taking a textbook, ripping out the explanations, ripping out the answers, then ripping out the problems and jumbling them randomly.” 
Once in sophomore year math class, we brought up some concerns about the curriculum to our math teacher. She responded, “I’ve found that Trinity students like to be spoon fed.” One of my classmates replied, “there is a big difference between being spoon fed and starving.” 
During my time at Phillips Exeter. I have become exposed to countless new cultures, religions, customs, and people from across the world. It is in stark contrast to the generally homogenous community of the public high school I attended before coming to Phillips Exeter!
I can say with certainty that never before coming to Phillips Exeter did I sit around a Harkness table. With people from up to four different continents at the same time. Furthermore, discuss the pressing issues that our society faces today.
Phililips Exeter broadened my horizons greatly. In addition, it allowed me to obtain a greater understanding of the world I live in. 
For this reason, when I was given the opportunity to become a math peer tutor in my freshman year of high school. I graciously accepted. It began a bit rocky! As my level of understanding in certain areas was often less than or equal to the students who I was trying to help. However, this led me to seek a deeper understanding in all the topics I learned about. As a result, I was always able to assist those who came to me. It drove me to dig deeper. Furthermore, answer the “why” of every problem I encounter. Rather than just memorizing a method to get the right answer. This skill has served me well in many facets.

Attending this university provided me with a wealth of knowledge and valuable experiences. Moreover, the course content offered at the university was highly appealing.
Old Medical School on Coupland Street (photographed in 1908), which now houses the School of Dentistry.
For example, my major was Mathematics with Finance, it allowed me to study both Mathematics and Finance, with a ratio of 3:1. During the first year, all courses were compulsory, which laid a strong foundation. Whereas for the  second- and third-years courses, the mandatory courses including Introduction to Financial  Mathematics, Financial Derivatives and Mathematical Modelling in Finance allowed me to learn about  quantitative finance. Students also got the opportunity to tailor studies to align with specific interests. Recognizing the increasing importance of programming, I personally chose to take courses in Python and MATLAB.

Taking an introduction to Korean course helped me to know more about Korean culture and the basic vocabulary of Korean. 
The University of Manchester is not only a prestigious institution but also a remarkably inclusive and  diverse community. There is no divide between home and international students, this multicultural  setting has broadened my horizons and exposed me to different perspectives. Furthermore, my time at  the university has instilled in me the value of independent learning.

Moreover, each week, we became required to engage with course materials through videos, lecture notes, and supplementary readings. Followed by  review sessions to consolidate our knowledge. Although initially challenging, I soon recognized the  immense importance of independent learning. Throughout the learning, I built my own understanding  of the whole area and decided what I want to focus on in the future. Collaborative projects with my  classmates during the semester further honed my teamwork skills, preparing me for the collaborative  nature of the professional world. 
Hulme Hall, the oldest hall of residence at the university.
Abundant libraries are scattered throughout the campus, each offering an  conducive environment for studying and collaboration. My personal favorite spot was the main library,  with its various sections and divisions catering to both individual study and group meetings. I always  went there for my academic study. 
There were lots of Careers Fairs on campus as well, where we could speak directly and in-person with  local and national organizations and find out more about their opportunities. I gained a lot of  knowledge of different industries and businesses during these fairs. 
Moreover, the University of Manchester boasts excellent sports facilities, including a gym and  swimming pool. During my leisure time, I engaged in physical exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle  and find balance among academic life. 
Reflecting on my time at the University of Manchester, I am grateful for the transformative impact it  has had on me. It has shaped me into a well-rounded individual.

Phillips Exeter Academy, located in Exeter, New Hampshire, is a prestigious, highly selective, co-educational independent boarding school. Widely regarded as one of the most academically rigorous and competitive schools in the United States. Admission to Phillips Exeter Academy is a challenging process that requires dedication and effort from applicants.
Let’s explore the application process! Furthermore, the factors that the school considers when making admission decisions. Additionally, the level of difficulty of getting into Phillips Exeter Academy.
Abbot Hall
When making admission decisions, Phillips Exeter Academy considers a range of factors. Including academic achievement, extracurricular activities, character, and potential for leadership! The school looks for students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement. Additionally, a commitment to intellectual curiosity and academic rigor. Additionally, the school values students who have shown leadership potential. Moreover, through their involvement in extracurricular activities, community service, and other forms of engagement.
The level of difficulty of getting into Phillips Exeter Academy is high, with an acceptance rate of around 15%. As a result, means that out of thousands of applicants, only a small fraction will become admitted. The school is highly selective! And looks for students who are not only academically strong. However, they also demonstrate leadership potential, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to serving their communities.

The application process is comprehensive and rigorous, involving multiple stages and requiring applicants to demonstrate their abilities and potential. While getting into Phillips Exeter Academy is challenging. It is also a highly rewarding experience for students who are seeking an academically rigorous and stimulating environment.
Imperial College London
The first performance at the Hall. The decorated canvas awning seen beneath the dome.
It seemed like it was just an instant: from the time in my high school, I accidentally watched an online video of an Imperial senior graduating in the Hall; to the time when I worked hard with Imperial College as my dream school; and finally to the time when I was truly standing on my graduation ceremony in the grand and imposing Royal Albert Hall. It was like a dream. The ceremony has written a perfect ending for the colorful campus life of every Imperial student.

Imperial College London is a place full of colorful life. Thanks to the unique location of Imperial College London, its extracurricular life is very rich: students can jog, ride a bike, and watch the swans in the Hyde Park; we can also go to nearby Museums to experience the charm of nature, history, and art; we can participate in a variety of activities held in school dormitories; we can also enjoy the authentic cuisines from around the world around Kensington and Chelsea.

In Summer, there is a Street food Festival and Summer Ball held in the College. You will never become bored!
There is one more thing I have to talk about is the various societies in Imperial College. There are lots of them, and I, myself, am a member of Mathematics, Finance, Dancing, Jogging and Photography Societies. At Imperial College, you can easily find your fellows, no matter where your interests are. 
Imperial College is a place full of kindness. We have the best professors in the world, who have already found great success in their research field. However, they are still patient! Furthermore, always nice and answering our “stupid” questions. Or discuss our thoughts and confusions on every proof.
Imperial College is a place full of opportunities. Most of the ways you want to improve yourself can be found here. We can learn new languages through Horizons, explore new cultures through various events, and use your skills for good globally. When I was a mathematics undergraduate in Imperial College, I could attend a lot of world trips held by the Finance Society to financial centers around the world, like New York and Hong Kong. Also, we could have opportunities to be an exchange student to other world-leading universities, such as MIT and ETH. Obviously, as long as you want, there are many platforms and opportunities for you to enhance your insights and improve yourself.

Last but not the least, Imperial College is a place full of responsibility. Besides the professors being friendly and responsible, the Career Service together with the good reputation and rankings of Imperial College will support your career path starting from your first day in Imperial College to years after you graduate. Many top Companies, not just UK ones, will come to Imperial College to hold career events. And every Imperial student can attend them for free. These events not only fully demonstrate the companies’ acknowledgement of Imperial College. In addition, also give us countless opportunities to learn more and make a more clear plan on our future career. 
We have supportive teachers who usually encourage students to share their opinions about their teaching styles and offer understanding and support during our challenging situations. The Imperial creates a sense of camaraderie and a supportive community where us students could help each other. During my times of uncertainty about the future, like module selection and career direction, I can also always find some enthusiastic teachers, seniors or classmates, who provide me with some emotional facilitation and valuable guidance, empowering me to progress better.
The Imperial offers a wide range of modules in Mathematics, fostering intellectual curiosity and a passion for lifelong learning. And we have an online interactive forum, “edstem,” and recorded lectures and problem classes, enhancing our learning experience. In addition, our college hosts various events, including career talks, inspirational lectures, and festive celebrations, and encourages association engagement, contributing to a vibrant campus life. Through these real-world experiences, I also developed my leadership and networking skills.
How hard is it to get into Phillips Exeter Academy?
What happened at Phillips Exeter?
Culture is a complex anthropological concept. John Monaghan, in his book Social and Cultural Anthropology: a Very Short Introduction, writes that “there have probably been more anthropological definitions of ‘culture’ than there have been anthropologists.” From this, it is clear that even at the scholarly level, there is difficulty nailing down an all-encompassing definition for the term.
Also in Social and Cultural Anthropology: a Very Short Introduction, Monaghan says that:
“However we define culture, most anthropologists agree that it has to do with those aspects of human cognition and activity that are derived from what we learn as members of society, keeping in mind that one learns a great deal that one is never explicitly taught.”
Here, the insinuation is that culture is a summation of thoughts and actions learned over time. And also learned indirectly, rather than taught in something akin to a classroom environment. The idea of learning culture is studied more in depth by Katherine Dettwyler. In Cultural Anthropology and Human Experience: The Feast of Life.
She says that culture can be simplified into three categories:
Firstly, what’s inside people’s heads. Secondly, what people do, and what people make!
Moreover, it becomes learned because culture isn’t steadfast, it is constantly changing. Culture, shared since individuals will have overlap in terms of their beliefs, knowledge. In addition, attitudes which help them identify with a particular group. Culture becomes patterned because:
“We find organized systems of thought and belief, patterns of thinking and systems of knowledge, not just a random hodgepodge of factoids and unrelated ideas.” Specifically, it is this pattern of ideas and factoids that gives culture significance. 
That is to say, it takes time to develop. Also, there is no explicit teaching. However, rather ingrained into the individual by the society in which they exist. Logically, the next question is how exactly culture becomes ‘ingrained’ into an individual.
In the book The Best of The Best, the author Ruben Gatzambe-Fernandez explores the development of cultural identities at “Weston”, a pseudonym for the elite boarding school Phillips Exeter Academy, or “Exeter”. He evaluates admissions, language, and framing, in his consideration of how a student comes to identify themselves with Exeter, which is most often through the use of the term “Exonian”. 
First Academy Building c. 1910, where the school opened in 1783
Students, not made aware of the explicit reason that they become admitted to Exeter when they receive notice of admission. The effects of this are twofold. One, it disbands the possibility of a student who did not become admitted comparing themselves to those who were with specific evidence as to why.
Within the broad category of rites of passage, there exists a subgroup of transition rites, exemplified by the likes of betrothal, or in this case, initiation.
After students receive their admissions letter, students reflect on why they belong at Exeter. Jack Mitchell, one of Fernandez’ interviewees, attributes his acceptance to his willingness to have meaningful discussions. In his admissions interview, he recalls saying:
Phillips Church in 1911
As Fernandez mentions often, discussion skills are crucial to becoming Exonian. And Jack is trying to show that he has what it takes.
John Phillips, the founder of Phillips Exeter Academy
The term Legitimation, as defined in Peter Berger’s The Social Construction of Reality is “this process of ‘explaining’ and justifying.” In this instance, legitimation takes the form of spoken language, and allows Jack to rationalize his place at Exeter.
Is the University of Cape Town a good school?
He reasons that because he is good at discussion, one of the key parts of becoming an Exonian according to many students interviewed by Fernandez, he deserves to be at Exeter.
Post admission, and the legitimation of their own personal place in the ranks of Exeter students, individuals continue to construct their cultural identity through language. “Language might be called the domain of articulations … Language can also be compared with a sheet of paper: thought is the front and the sound the back; one cannot cut the front without cutting the back at the same time.”
Is Wesleyan a good school?
Furthermore, Language becomes connected to thoughts. Which are key to internalizing a particular cultural identity. The word that Fernandez found most intertwined to the cultural identity of Exeter students is “smart”. A good way to see this becomes through the constructing of boundaries between groups on campus. Who become considered “smart”, and those considered not. “Students use the category of PG as a way to distinguish and draw boundaries around themselves as Westonians who are smart and work hard.” The word smart becomes associated with exclusively students who are not of the PG category.
The Beatles exemplified changing cultural dynamics, not only in music, but fashion and lifestyle. Over a half century after their emergence, they continue to have a worldwide cultural impact.
In essence, language becomes used to reinforce their cultural identity as Westonian. As a result of separating themselves from the group considered not to be. In addition to language, there is another underlying anthropological concept in this method of cultural identification. It is framing. Frames “are mental structures that shape the way we see the world.” An example of a frame would be that Ethan is a PG, so Ethan is dumb. It allows individuals to reinforce their own ideas about culture.

However, the case study of Phillips Exeter provides great insight into what exactly culture has manifested itself into. Additionally how it becomes constructed. Furthermore, students at Exeter begin as outsiders. Thus, begin the creation of their cultural identity as Exonians upon acceptance to the institution. From there, they legitimize their presence.
In conclusion, language structures separate themselves from those considered not Exonian. And thus, more closely associating themselves with the term. Furthermore, it is a process that takes time, as culture is not instantaneous. Lastly, through what they think, what they do, and what they make. Lastly, Exeter students slowly come to associate themselves with the cultural identity of an Exeter student, being Exonian.

1.) The teaching staff stands highly involved with the training of students!
Many of them, in addition to their great professional experience,have a great training, with degrees and doctorates from the most prestigious universities and business schools.

Achieved by orienting the training to the real needs of the companies, for example, teaching us operations that don’t appear in the manuals of study. However, their knowledge is very important because of its almost daily use. In such a changing sector and in which technological changes are vital, being up to date is not an option. Is an imperious necessity. 
This mix of experience, practice and academic knowledge from the hands of the leading finance professionals, place the Instituto de Estudios Bursátiles in a privileged position. 
3.) The wide academic offer, it is worth mentioning the possibility of studying for a university degree. The degree itself plus the master’s degree in the period of 4 years with the professional practices included, the normal period of degree plus master’s degree is superior in the great majority of the cases.
I would also highlight that it is one of the few universities in our country that has a Bloomberg classroom, it has Bloomberg terminals for practice and to know its main functions. 
The IEB, an educational institution of the first level endorsed by its professionalism, employability of its students and its level of training.
Becoming trained today. And knowing first hand what stands relevant in any sector, remains the key to success. Moreover information remains power and today more than ever. And if that information becomes reflected with a specific knowledge of the hand of great professionals.
The result ends up as a very well trained and prepared student for tomorrow.

The university considers the rigor of high school coursework, grades, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and the personal essay in its admissions decisions. Certain competitive programs may have additional requirements or higher standards for admission.

While I understand it isn’t easy to delve into details as the university is very varied, my two inputs are:
In conclusion, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, stands as a premier institution of higher learning. Lastly, its long history, comprehensive academic offerings, dedication to research, and robust community engagement make it a valuable choice for students from all walks of life. Moreover, its strong reputation, combined with the opportunities afforded by its location, solidifies its position as a leader in public higher education.

Kept his office in the chapel and he chose it as his burial spot. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/highsmhtml/highsmabt.html states that Highsmith has dedicated the photos in the archive to the public domain.
Yes, an excellent school! An excellent choice! Consistently among the 20 ranked liberal arts schools in the country!
My Experience Studying at Washington and Lee 
George Washington, the institution’s first major benefactor.
This May, I completed my first year at Washington and Lee. I left campus and embarked on a 17-hour car ride home with a long road ahead of me. And ample time to reflect on all I had overcome, accomplished and new aspirations prompted by all the years brought. 
After all, growing up in a small town that emulated a bubble. Wells are not exactly the best launchpad in an environment where most people know you at the beginning. Only so far as your first and last name, if that. The difficulty of this transition during the first couple of months, coupled with my spiraling anxiety and depression. Ultimately became the lowest point I felt I had ever reached. I worried I was not strong enough to transition and succeed in college, both academically and socially. Seeing an end in sight became harder and harder, and everything felt uncertain.

I had never felt so scared or unlike myself. I felt the only thing I could depend on was the hope that time would bring certainty and familiarity into my life, and even that felt uncertain. 
Needless to say, the culmination of these feelings posed a fierce competitor to my academic focus. I struggled to stay on top of my work and felt it was impossible to put forth the level of focus and effort that had earned me a spot at W&L in the first place. Each time I put this in perspective. I felt overwhelmed with frustration, aware of the many excellent academic opportunities I had right at my fingertips. But I did not know how to overcome the mental guard in the way. 
As time went on, I overcame these hardships. I frequently met with a therapist and academic coaches. With their help and my gradual adaptation to the rigorous collegiate lifestyle, I grew into myself again, into the student and person meant to be at W&L.
Moreover, with each day, my grades, focus, and depth of engagement and involvement all correlated in a positive direction!
I fostered several strong rapports with my professors and developed great friendships. I walked away from my first year with a heightened understanding of my potential as not just a student at Washington and Lee but also as an individual with an entirely new perspective.

My college life at Georgia Tech began with an intense fascination towards computer hardware.  As a computer engineering major, I was drawn to the world of computer architecture, digital  circuit, and everything about silicon chips. The promise of understanding how computers  actually work motivated me, hoping one day I could design my own chips. My first year at Georgia Tech, a school with tremendous resources in the field of electrical and computer  engineering, was marked by courses and projects that allowed me to delve deep into computer  architecture and hardware design. 
Soon, however, my interest began to shift from the physical aspects of computers to the world  of software. This transition started when I learned about Moore’s law. Moore’s law dictated the  development process of the computer hardware field: the number of transistors on a microchip  doubles approximately every two years. However, as we approached the physical limitations (size of an atom, speed of light), it became evident that Moore’s law, as well as the progression  of hardware, has reached its limits in recent years. I realized that the future of computational  innovations lay not in the physical chips themselves, but in what we could make those chips do  – the realm of computer software.

Despite having to leave the school and my  friends for one semester, the joy of entering the industry for the first time was huge, and I  looked forward to creating software that would change the world. However, my time in the  professional world offered me a different perspective. I found that the industry became structured. Such that the most impactful software became developed by large teams of hundreds or even  thousands of developers.
Georgia Tech’s first two graduates were H.L. Smith (top row, center) and G.C. Crawford (top row, far right).
The  pace of progress seemed sluggish to me. And I found the atmosphere saturated with talk about work-life balance rather than a passion for the work itself. It seemed to me that not everyone  truly loved what they were doing. Like how I transitioned from hardware to software, I decided to make my next move. 
Through interactions with diverse individuals, I got a glimpse into the fast-paced world of  quantitative investment, where computer science knowledge like machine learning and data  science also play a vital role. The idea of employing advanced data science techniques and  statistical tools like regression and optimization to navigate the complex world of finance  excited me.
With new aspirations, I sought opportunities that help me explore more about this field. I interned as a quant developer. Then as a quant research intern at Jiawo Asset Management. Finally as a quant developer intern at Millennium.
Each experience reaffirmed my passion for quantitative research and the world of  investment. 
However, as I transitioned to this field, I realized that Georgia Tech’s resources and support for  investment were not as robust as their offering in computer hardware or software. This compelled me to  take ownership of my own learning. I drove myself to understand more about the industry. As a result, engaging in self-research and networking with experienced people in the quantitative industry. 
Looking back, I see how Georgia Tech’s culture of intellectual curiosity shaped me. The  university encouraged me to seek out new opportunities, persevere through challenges, and  stay committed to my goals. Despite the lack of extensive resources in the investment field, I’ve  learned that it’s not always about the resources but about the will to utilize what’s at hand and  show commitments to every responsibility.
