[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have read several references to how kids at top schools aren't getting into "THE investment club" or something like that.

If so many kids aren't getting into the investment club, why wouldn't the students just start a new club?  Then there would be 2 or 7 or whatever number of clubs until everyone who wanted to be in one would be in one?  What am I am I missing?[/quote]
At my DD's alma mater, the investment club was different from the campus clubs that you may be thinking about. The investment club was given a set amount per year by the university and the investment club managed the portfolio and invested the money with faculty mentors. Proceeds from the club were then used to fund an angel network. Membership was highly competitive and mostly limited to finance majors in the investment banking specialty track. The club's overall membership was limited to a number of students. To apply, the student needs a certain GPA and an A in a couple of the early finance courses. Whereas the other business school clubs had relatively unlimited membership just as long as the student met the basic criteria of the club (enrolled in the business school, GPA, etc.).[/quote]
