Promoting Curiosity

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When do you recruit new members?
A: We recruit NRs in the Fall and Winter Quarters.
Q: What do you look for in a successful applicant?
A: We’re looking for intelligent, enthusiastic, and hardworking 1st and 2nd years who are willing to commit and dedicate themselves to our organization and who believe in the values represented by our club.
​
Q: How many New Recruits are recruited each quarter?

​
Q: How much of a time commitment should I expect?
A: Research Analysts spend 6 hours on average per week attending meetings and working on Promontory projects.
​
Q: Can I reapply?
A: Yes! A reapplication is regarded as demonstrated interest in the RSO and we look forward to hearing about all the things you've done since your last application.
​
Q: Do I need any prior knowledge or any experience in finance?
A: Not at all! Our goal is to enrich our community with hardworking, smart, and engaging minds who are always willing to contribute. Many students are more than capable of learning the education material we're offering, but we are looking for those who share the aforementioned attributes, who will add value to Promontory, build strong friendships, and deliver our primary mission to the campus community.
