[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the competitive preprof college clubs really matter? My kid is starting at penn and club applications and interviews sound very time consuming... during a time when kids are just settling in. I dont really understand the benefit of and high demand for preprof clubs. Do they provide a real advantage in the future job search or not? Wondering if they can/should avoid those clubs and focus time on studies, meeting people and finding some fun activities/orgs to join. Would appreciate any thoughts/experience on this topic... [/quote] DC at Ivy. Pre professional clubs help with resume. There are jobs that just want the high stats kids who have taken the most rigorous math courses (like for quant jobs) but there are others (consulting) that want leadership, personality and ability to work with others. I personally have not heard of research opportunities leading to internships but YMMV. [/quote]
