[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not aware of any competitive clubs at my DC’s slac. Definitely not the vibe there.

Doesn’t apply to all slacs though. I know CMC has a very competitive investment club. [/quote]

yes to CMC--most clubs and opportunities are competitive and if you're not in by junior year you're shut out of really anything. [/quote]
I just checked the consulting club and this may have changed, but it seems that a lot of sophomores are on the consulting club and there’s plenty freshman. They probably just prefer having students who have done intro macro and micro economics.[/quote]

Boy this is stupid, my version of consulting club was getting a book and discussing a case with a friend to get better at analysis, in preparation for an interview with McKinsey or BCG. Taking economics helps, but they also liked science and engineering backgrounds. Why do you need a club for this?[/quote]
They do career treks and case competitions with consulting firms. You don’t want to be represented by students who know nothing about economics. [/quote]

Ok I’ll pass. It’s more productive to volunteer with a business or economics professor than be filtered out by a sophomore that literally has zero professional experience. [/quote]
Who says they do? Many consulting firms start looking freshman year these days. Seriously, it’s a lot more competitive than when we were in college. Just the natural flow of things.[/quote]

What do you mean by consulting firms start looking freshman year? Do you mean they want to see what applicants did since freshman year? Ok, but I’m doubtful consulting club is that helpful compared to working with a professor.[/quote]
