UTD used to be a damn honor to be a part of, ex-TI founders started it.
Now the indians run it. It’s still a solid school, but it’s also a mess. The alumni situation there is a disaster.
What was your class year? I have my third in master’s in 08 and ? first PhD form UTD I lecture when I’m not in industry. You are right it’s 100% different from the 90s I would estimate 60% of all UTD students are foreign. That’s not surprising it’s a research University and Americans lack the math, science and comprehension skills coming out of public schools to compete in the world market. All of the high end math and recovering students are Asian they have the math literacy.
