[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Employers don't care but yes, clubs for engineering, tech, business and medicine at most top30 universities have become impossible to join. At my child's school they routinely have a 2-3% admit rate and are mainly based on who the current members know. Membership decisions are made by 19-21 year olds. They're not exactly unbiased.

DC made it through 3 rounds of interviews for medical club but didn’t make final cut. She heard after it was bc 1-2 members missed the meeting to vouch for her. She’s wondering if she should try again now that she has more friends/connections in the club to support her.

It’s so tough and hard on the ego but also wonder if these clubs even matter for pre-med. DH and I are both physicians and don’t remember these clubs mattering at all. [/quote]

My daughter made it through 5 rounds of cuts for the pre-med club (5 days of events!) and was cut.  It was ridiculous. 
We are also both physicians and certainly didn't do this. [/quote]
That’s insane!! Will your DD try again? I feel for our kids, especially bc I don’t quite see the utility of pre-med club over business/engineering where it’s important for connections or recruiting. Maybe for community and advice…[/quote]
