Hey I’m an undergrad choosing which schools to transfer into. I’m planning on doing a dual degree in math and cs at Penn, Doing computational applied math or cs at uchicago, or cs at Berkeley. I’m leaning away from Berkeley cuz I have to retake several courses and the major isn’t guaranteed and am leaning towards penn bc of quality of life. What do you guys think? Ideally I’d like to break into quant from undergrad but I’m willing to do an mfe if needed.
 
Congrats. Upenn would be a dream for me. I think any of these three schools would be leading you in the right direction
 
I would go for Penn, but instead of math and cs I personally would consider doing math and SSE. SSE at Penn and ORFE at Princeton are IMO two of the best undergrad degrees one can get in the U.S. if pursuing a career as a quant. That said, Chicago is Chicago... good problem to have, congratulations!
