[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clubs that have zero applications at Harvard Business School: consulting, private equity, marketing, banking, real estate, family business…

Undergrads with zero work experience have no business filtering out who can be in these clubs. As someone in the industry I would scoff at a kid who tried or boasted about it.[/quote]

Nothing in your comment makes much sense.  I am sure if HBS has a private equity club, there are tons of students in it.

Not sure how work experience has anything to do with undergraduate clubs.  BTW as “someone in the industry”…what industry? [/quote]

The young man who was the head of the consulting club at my son's non-Ivy a few years ago is now a first-year at HBS.

My husband and I are "in the industry" and the younger analysts ALL have clubs on their resumes like student-managed investment fund, consulting group, TAMID, etc. [/quote]

I don’t ding kids for being members of these clubs. I see them all the time too. Who knows which ones are exclusive. But if any kid bragged about creating exclusivity, I would ask questions that I’m sure would show sloppy thinking. They don’t have the experience to decide who makes a good future consultant, and I guarantee they would say something that would make me think not as highly of them as the less exclusive, more open and curious kid.[/quote]
