[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's nuanced.

clubs matter as much as majors now. more at some schools.

people still clinging to the idea that you can waltz into a job with a x degree are behind the times.

a philosophy major at Yale who is in YSIG or YUDI (investment club) or YUCG (consulting) will have a summer internship anywhere they want sophomore year summer and will have a job offer by end of junior year.

but! there are 25-30 kids per grade who are in those clubs in total. can a philosophy major get into those clubs. 100% yes. A lot of it is poise. They love the very smart, the very polished. They have McKinsey-style interviews.

This is why the club culture is misunderstood by a lot parents. They say, who cares! Just join the mock trial team instead! Or do a club sport - make connections. But these clubs are important for the kids gunning for these $$$ jobs. [/quote]

Which is why a NESCAC is a better route than an Ivy for many people. Club culture doesn’t dominate, on-site recruiting is plentiful, and the alumni network is tight. Downside is that athletes are often preferred.[/quote]
