[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is one of the problem with ivies. What school, OP? I know Penn is awful. Such a cutthroat atmosphere.[/quote]

Yes, Penn does not look good. DC having club rejections. Ridiculous. [/quote]

OP here. Penn.[/quote]

I knew it. Penn has such a reputation for being competitive and unwelcoming. I wonder whether anyone would apply if it weren’t an Ivy.[/quote]

My kid is at Penn…no problem joining a club sport team, sports analytics club, entrepreneurial club.  Never interested in the IBanking or VC clubs which are probably nuts.  Says there 100+ clubs that aren’t competitive.[/quote]

NP: mine is at Penn, ‘26! Loves it! Got into one club that required screening/audition, in two other non competitive ones, and did not get into a different one that in hindsight is a huge time suck and as a junior realizes not needed. Research and internships do not correlate with clubs. There are so many opportunities there—it is only IB obsessed freshman who get angsty over clubs. Once they grow a little and relax they realize there is plenty more to do there and clubs are what you make of them.  From her friend at Brown, Penn seems less competitive because there are many more open clubs! [/quote]
