<p>do they matter that much? or are they far too common?</p>
<p>if you’re talking about for wharton… i don’t think they are a huge deal but i’m sure the more business experience the better. the kids i know who applied to wharton leaning on their DECA International qualifications and their FBLA or whatever… never really make it. whatever you do, business related or not, wharton/penn wants to see that you have passion for it, and they want to see proficiency and dedication</p>
