<p>Has anyone else done this?
Is it a good idea, or would it be too much work for one person to undertake?</p>
<p>I have only 1 year left in my college, but if I could start it at the beginning of next year, I would still be the 'founder' and 'president' for the year. I guess this would look pretty good on your resume for IB, so would it be worth it?
I understand that grades are important for IB too and I wouldnt want them to suffer due to this...</p>
<p>they won’t care</p>
<p>Crap. I guess its all about the internships and grades so?
I thought ECs counted for something, though?</p>
<p>Forming the club itself doesn’t show anything. Making a billion dollars in the investors club would show something, but the interesting thing there would be how you made the billions of dollars, not that you started an investors club. Yeah, they ask about ECs, but these guys aren’t undergrad college admissions officials - they need masses of bright young graduating students as easily as they can get them. i.e., not the way ivy leagues painfully shift through thousands of individuals to get a “feel” for the individual. In fact, there’s already an easy system in place to filter through these individuals - a combination of GPA, undergrad college name, and to a lesser degree, major. </p>
<p>If your EC is something most other current ibankers couldn’t have done if they wanted, then it’s probably a good EC that’ll be considered. Otherwise, think of your ECs as making you into an interesting person for the interview, but that’s it. It won’t help you get the interview.</p>
