Recruiting/opportunities at UChicago

For those of you at UChicago who have went through the process of recruiting for IB/PE summer internships and full time offers, how was the experience? For example, is there solid OCR and a valuable alumni network? Does the name brand help? Does the school help you through the process (networking, applying, preparing for interviews, etc.)? Ultimately, is it a strong target/feeder based on your experiences?

Any advice for an incoming freshman as to which courses to do, what clubs to join, etc.?

Thanks for your time and I wish you the best for 2024!
