[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of talented and super driven kids at top schools. My kid is a freshman at a top ranked school. Auditioned for 3 performing arts groups and was accepted to 1. (After writing application essays, hours of auditions, and coffees with club leaders). A bit of a wake up call for my kid. They also applied to a few business clubs and joined one business club that seemed interesting. Club applications/interviews require time and my kid was too busy socially so applied to only 2 (out of 40+).  I think kids find plenty of opportunities if they focus on what interests them vs clubs that are perceived as prestigious. Also, my current observation is that the connected kids will do fine with getting internships from family connections. [b]Kids like mine (without connections) will likely benefit from school and club networking opportunities - but clubs are only 1 path[/b]- there are many others. [/quote]

Again, no evidence that these clubs are helpful. Just speculation with a side of hopes and dreams. [/quote]
