Don’t worry about doing anything in the mean time, first year is pretty chill. Depending on your major/past experience with living independently I would suggest that you only take 3 classes in the fall. I knew a lot of kids who struggled to balance academics/social life bc they took 4 classes in the fall. In terms of RSOs (clubs) to join… I would look at Blue Chips, Maroon Capital, AKPsi and UIBG. Tbh, just join RSOs where you vibe with the people, that’s more enjoyable than being overly pre-professional. Plenty of kids go into banking from consulting clubs and vice versa. One last thing, the world is a lot larger than IB, don’t be afraid to venture outside of your current interests.
