I was recently accepted to Tufts, and I am wondering how competitive the Tufts Financial Group is? From what I’m seeing, TFG is fairly reputable in the finance industry, as several leaders in the TFG are heading over to BofA, Guggenheim, and BMO in NYC.
Hopefully someone with Tufts-specific knowledge will chime in. In my experience these sorts of preprofessional clubs do not have open membership; one has to apply, go through interviews, and there’s usually a decent chance of being rejected.

I don’t know how selective it is, but expect it is competitive.
Here is info about the structure and activities of the club: https://www.tuftsfinancialgroup.org/_files/ugd/82efba_9523c5f229974e778655dd636f9fffde.pdf
Here’s the full website. Fancy. You might sign up to be on the mailing list: https://www.tuftsfinancialgroup.org/
I will note that you do NOT have to be in this club to pursue careers in banking from Tufts. Good luck.

I just graduated from Tufts. TFG is a great resource to break into finance, especially if you begin to utilize it at the start of your freshman year. Joining the club itself isn’t competitive at all, it’s open to everyone. Their CDC (career development course) sector doesn’t require any application/interview, completely open to freshmen and sophomores to teach them the basics of finance, networking, etc. The club has other branches that are more competitive that you will likely have to interview for, such as the Alpha Fund and TIBC. If you join the club through CDC when you get to Tufts, it should prepare you for when you want to join the more competitive branches later on. If you have more questions you should definitely reach out to some students on the exec board. They are all more than happy to help clarify.
