How important is it to join these pre-MBA trips? Thinking yacht week at H/S for instance. Timing does not match with my schedule and I’m trynna see if I should stretch a little to show presence… or does it not matter at all

My lowly T2 School has a traditional outing that is a bit smaller scale than that… But my opinion is that it can be an accelerator for friendships and networking… But it is definitely still possible to build those friendships and network without having been there

Not many people go to Yacht week. Colombia however is a big deal.

Let me put it this way, yacht week will not be s strong determinant for making friends with your cohort. It could actually end up hurting you bc people act out in these scenarios were everyone’s dehydrated af and getting wasted
