Can I break into IB from Cornell without joining a finance club? (solely rushing a frat instead)
Hi all, I transferred from a T50 state school to Cornell, where i'm now a sophomore and a bio major at CALS. I've seen that people say that all majors at Cornell are recruited at targets which isn't my concern, but that many people recommend joining a finance club. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll have time for that because I'll be rushing and probably getting hazed. So I was wondering if you guys think just having fraternity connections, networking, etc is sufficient enough to break into IB.
I pledged and got hazed at UConn, which is why I know it'll take up a lot of my time this semester. I ended up dropping as a pledge because I got into Cornell.
I also want to add that I was pre-med and have a bunch of research accomplishments like having a publication, publication acknowledgement, and even helped get a grant approved by the NIH. Would love to hear input on that as well in terms of IB recruiting. I've also got a decent GPA from UConn (~3.9) but no GPA at Cornell since it doesn't transfer onto my transcript. Do you guys think that will matter?
You can definitely get into IB from Cornell without being in a finance club. You’ll just have to network harder and convey your interest in finance more creatively on your resume.
To be honest though, you most likely will still be able to pledge and join a finance club in the same semester. If you need to miss a new member education series event or two so be it. They won’t kick you out of the club over it and will most likely understand if conflicts come up. At the end of the day they’re just other students who probably had to deal with the same thing.
Pledging both a social and business frat in the same semester would be tough however and wouldn’t recommend it, even though it is possible to do.
