[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to Cornell. Some clubs are not competitive—anyone can join. There are some clubs you have to apply to and interview. Some of those are engineering project teams.

My son joined non competitive clubs. Then later tried some that he had to interview for. He was not accepted into one club. Then he was accepted in a project team. It was all fine. He didn’t take it personally. Some kids don’t join any clubs and do very well.

It was no harder than getting cut from the soccer team in high school![/quote]

Unrelated to this topic but.. Is your son an engineering major? Which particular major?
Does he feel like the kids are generally collaborative and study together etc?
Mine is applying there for engineering. Thanks!![/quote]

He is not an engineering major, but he is on a project team with mostly engineers. The project team has been fun for him. The team works on a project for an annual competition with other schools. The project team is also very social and gets together regularly for team dinners.   So, his experience has collaborative. But, I can’t speak to the experience of engineering majors.
