How competitive is it to get into clubs at your child's college?

Before, clubs were an outlet for nonacademic interests- sports, the arts, hobbies, cultural affinity, religion- whatever. They weren’t treated as potential professional networks and springboards.

Besides final clubs there are dozens of clubs that students can join at Harvard. If you child complains of having difficulty find a suitable one maybe she can ask classmates, roommates or favorite teachers.
