[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the wannabe bankers and consultants, whose children there are other avenues. My dc, best friend didn’t get into the top clubs for fiancé kid or consulting at their T20, took a different route he just applied to the quant finance firms, who are really a true meritocracy and got multiple offers, and got internships and then tried banking the next year and consulting this year.   All the top firms in the nation.  Funny part he placed the best in the entire school this year with  multiple quant offer that pays un godly amount of money. Puts the Goldmans and McKinley’s to shame.    So there is light at the end of tunnel. Seek other alternatives if you can’t make it to the clubs. [/quote]

Sure they did.[/quote]

DP. The PP is right, these competitve clubs are not needed provided you are at a top20ish school that is a target of top firms. 
Multiple kids at Penn go into quant without being in the top clubs. Every year the rumors among parents start that clubs are needed and upperclass parents or alums share the truth that it is not needed. They are not all wharton either, in fact most top quant hires are from Engineering or the college(math or physics) lately. In fact humanities majors get MBB consulting all the time in addition to stem majors.  [/quote]

Is this true? They do have them. quant trading clubs specifically even. I hope you're right because my laid back kid would not be willing to fight for a spot, but is interested in quant.[/quote]
