Who the fuck cares, join whatever you vibe with and don’t decide based on clout, its literally just clubs in college. But if you're actually trying to rank, only your t1 and like half of t2 are relevant, add wax and all the not Wharton sanctioned clubs that you skipped, and break out by subcommittee because there's a lot of variance

 

Don't go to Wharton and most of these acronyms mean nothing to me, but surprised to see Global Platinum Securities not on this list. Based off of what I hear, should be at or near the top. 

 

Yeah frankly it’s just a sub group within WITG SSG. If tier 0 existed, gps is tier 0

clearly the president of wuec posting this, irrelevant club lol. But here's a better description:

Tier 1:

WITG (specifically SSG/TacOpps are top, then Global Macro/TMT/Industrials, Healthcare/Energy/Financials/Consumer Retail are all jokes, QIS is it's own category)

WUFC :(investment team specifically is alright, best club for events/speakers

PEVC: very small and basically just the members of the top witg teams, decent speaker events

PUCP: party club for "Venture Capital" that is selective and loaded but doesn't do much

Tier 2:

180 Consulting: not wharton, does cool stuff though

MUSE: specifically generalist and SIP consulting are good, other committees are a joke

PIIC: competitive and small

GRC: similar vibes to piic

Wharton (Asia/Latino/Black/Alliance/Women): Wharton Asia has really good investment teams, Latino/Black/Alliance are all good for connections, Women has amazing events

Tier 3:

WUDIG: distressed investing group, cracked people but not involved

WUHC: kind of a joke?? good obvs for hc people

WHFC: kind of dead but

WUEG: also a joke

WMC: also a joke

PennSEM: joke

Where is Wudac, Wharton Undergraduate Jewish Club, Wharton Undergraduate Noah Schnapp appreciation club, Wharton Undergraduate Pret Enthusiasts club, Wharton Undergraduate Engineering club, Wharton Undergraduate international oil tycoon billionaire club, Wharton Undergraduate Cohort Dollar, Wharton Undergraduate University City Gyro Club, Wharton Undergraduate gentrification club, and so much more?

 

Give me more reasons, now that I'm in charge of resume screens, to give all the wharton spots to Yale/MIT/Stanford kids.  Good god, people like OP aught to be executed.  

 

Coming from someone in both WITG and WUFC, WUFC is a joke.

The difference between WITG and WUFC is essentially comparing PJT rssg with BofA IB. WUFC is bigger network, more brand-name for big public speaker events, more resources/funds, and the best listserv (frankly, the only reason why you join WUFC), but actually technically skilled kids (the ones present at every pitching competition) go to WITG. The SSG kids knew how to model since freshman year when most of the wharton sophomores struggle with adjusting NI to get CFO. You can get into WUFC without really knowing finance but WITG (granted, kinda depends on which committee you're in) you need to relatively know your shit. 

My personal view:

Tier 0: GPS

Tier 1:

WITG SSG/TacOpps

PEVC IA

Tier 1.5:

Other WITG Committees

Tier 2:

WUFC Investment
