Does being a founding member of a club matter? I plan on majoring in finance or economics and my school is starting an investment club next year. It will not be around long enough to have any impact I can explain on applications. It does apply to my major and I am a founding member of the club; how much weight does this actually hold to my application? I have other extracurriculars and this would probably be my least effective line on the application, but I am curious to see if it matters enough to put down.
