for UK recruiting whatcha think

Hey guys so I'll be soon applying for UK spring internships (programmes for 1st year students) and wanted some feedback. I removed my name and contact details at the top so its only the body of the cv.

Think except for that first experience I listed im pretty boring. Ill go a nontarget and based on what Ive seen, others have all these impressive, interesting extracurriculars (next to their brand name uni). what do I got? finance after finance.

the bank I want to really go for (DB) last year took ppl only from the targets for their spring programme, not one exception was there. they really are just target heavy, so srsly doubting my chances, any advice on this would be appreciated too. I know networking my best bet, but I heard on this level it really isn't practice -> nor I really have the time for it, gotta hand in my apps preferably by the end of this month and im not even in london yet.

Also I have some other exp, pls tell me which one would you exchange for which, if you would:
- wso seo internship (apparently the only non-native english speaker in the team)
- researching brokerages/credit cards online for a well known investing site for 2 months (2011)
- another insight week, that time at the largest independent ib in my country (few months ago)
- support/marketing assistant for a south african based company selling info products for retail fx traders (2011)

Thanks!
