Aspiring quant from Chicago

Hey everyone! My name is Miguel, I’m 19 and I’m from Chicago. I’m currently an undergrad student of Finance and Statistics, and I’m also self teaching myself computer programming. I discovered the field of Quant finance about 9 months ago, and I’ve been diving head first into all the concepts in it. My goal is work an internship for a quantitative proprietary trading firm next summer, and I’m taking every necessary step to be ready for it. I’m absorbing as much as information as I can, so any advice is greatly helpful to me.
My current read is Quantitative Trading by Ernest Chan

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for your post and welcome.
I am quite impressed by your determination at 19.
At 19 I was an idiot! haha

Chicago is a top place to be if you are interested in this space!
Keep up the good work
