[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all sounds so icky. I opened this thread thinking it would be about academic challenges, but instead, it's all about social climbing and making connections to get a step up. I don't even see that many posts speaking to making genuine connections. So glad my kid isn't interested in Northwestern or finance.[/quote] Understandable. Competition increases as one "climbs the ladder" to success. definitely not for everyone. The clubs do make genuine connections with other members entering the field as well as with employers in the students' targeted professional field. And, yes, you are correct in understanding that success is not all about academics. For those interested purely in academics as a measure of success, consider investigating colleges & universities which send a high number or a high percentage of their graduates to PhD programs.[/quote]
