Can I cut it, and make it onto a graduate scheme?

fellow users,

Im currently going into my final year at university (October) at a target university, studying Economics. I'm on track for a 2.1, and have had experience in my first year at uni at Bloomberg and also one of the biggest banks in the UK. A spring week, and summer vacation scheme.

I was kind of lost as to where I wanted a career in. Most of my summer internship applications this time last year were for IB, however by February I realised AM/IM was what I wanted to go into. I applied very late to two firms, but failed the interview process. So I was wondering what my prospects for securing a grad role were (in the UK) at an investment management division/firm. Extracurriculars play for a uni football team, have held charity fundraisers, and shadow manage portfolio. Ive self taught excel to myself this summer, and investing basics/concepts. Im always upto date with current affairs, the market and major economic indicators around the world. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Regards
