Haas students

<p>For those intended haas business majors, what are some extracurricular activities that you can get involved in besides joining business related clubs/frats? Do internships over the summer help on the application? I know it depends on what types of internships and weather you're in a leadership position or not. but it's hard for a freshman to get a leadership position in clubs/internships. so what other options are available out there?</p>

<p>well imma freshman myself so i wouldnt know much but from wat ive seen, its good just to be involved in stuff that ur interested in. becuase the people that i know who got into haas werent necessarily people who had lots of leadership positions but people who were involved in stuff they cared bout and did a lot of stuff.</p>

<p>internships do help because they give u experience and something to put on the resume. and....yea i ono thats all i got haha hope it helps</p>

<p>"but it's hard for a freshman to get a leadership position in clubs/internships."</p>

<p>No it's not. Quite a few of my freshmen friends held some sort of position in a club during their 2nd semester. There are a LOT of clubs out there, each with several positions.</p>

<p>Asian Business Association
Jewish Business Association
Latino Business Association
Future Business Leaders of America
The Berkeley Group
Real Estate Club
Cal Investment Club</p>

<p>Delta Sigma Pi, Alpha Kappa Psi, Beta Alpha Psi </p>

<p>There's a lot. <a href="http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/organizations.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/organizations.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Also...plenty of freshmen have internships. They may not be the most amazing and they may not pay, but they will look good on your resume. I know that Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney all take freshmen (but I think the freshmen positions are all unpaid).</p>
