Real Spring ‘23 Finance Club Rankings + Explanations

by: Junior in DysonFeb 7, 2023 2:34:07 PM

Here is an actual objective ranking of on-campus finance orgs with explanations, no bs:

CFA (most robust and complete new member education plus sophomore series)
CHF (solid placement across all finance fields, best community and most social)
CFC (strong corporate relationships, great placement across all finance fields)
CIBC (insane IB placement, 7 members going to Goldman Sachs alone for Summer ‘23)

Far and away the top 4 finance orgs here at Cornell in terms of NME, corporate connections, alumni networks, placement, etc. No other orgs come close to them, there’s a reason why these 4 do the Navigating Finance Clubs Workshop together and literally hold private socials and events with one another.

-GAP-

BlackGen (best diversity finance org, strong relationship with JP Morgan)
Alpha Fund (great NME, manage an actual portfolio)
CAI (brand new club, great exposure across buy and sell sides)
MICC (deep alumni network, one of the oldest finance clubs at 25 years old)

Great options that will give you an excellent experience. Lots of opportunities for personal growth and professional development plus good placement.

-GAP-

CVC (niche focus, great exposure to VC firms)
Cayuga Capital (solid placement across industries, good post-NME education)
GCC (great mentorship, nearly 15 years old)
CER (publishes research, welcoming community)
