Here is some data about number of students actually graduating with certain degrees, Turing scholars included.
Some Turing scholars drop the program senior year because they don’t want to do thesis, and they are not going to graduate school. Academia pays less than private sector.

About girls and Turing.

Girls in Turing should have very thick skin and not be easily intimidated, or they will not be happy. For girls it is not just about academics, it is about certain emotional pressure. Not everyone can deal with it.

Turing scholars usually have special priority events with employers before the job fairs, but so do WICS (women in CS).

Turing scholars have priority registration for classes, but so do any Honors students, for example Polymathic scholars.

Turing scholars usually get more lucrative summer jobs, internships and job offers, but it is mostly because they have much better experience and PROJECTS to compare with students who did not take CS classes in HS. The gap freshman year can be huge.
