T10 MM HF Intern to S&T London - Breaking In

My Profile:

• Interned this past summer (1–2 months) on a macro pod at a large hedge fund in the US.
• Founder/President of a finance/startup society at my university (semi-target).
• Previous experience as an academic research intern, with work used by the UK Home Office.
• Currently in my final year but planning to pursue a master’s, so I’m applying for summer analyst roles rather than grad schemes.

Applications so far:

• Applied to all BBs except GS and ~12 MMs.
• Completed all OA’s and HireVues for the ones I’ve applied to.
• Currently shifting prep towards ACs (using salesandtrading.org guides + following markets closely).

My Experience So Far:
Coming into this cycle I assumed that having hedge fund experience would give me a big advantage. What I’ve found instead is that the process feels more “democratized”: if you don’t perform well on OAs or HireVues, you get auto-rejected before anyone even sees your CV.

My Question:
Given my profile and the fact that I’ve done decently well (though not perfectly) on most OAs and HireVues (moreso on the HV's as I'm a good speaker and I had good answers prepped), should I expect a materially higher hit rate when it comes to converting OA/HV passes into telephone interviews or AC invites because of my resume? In other words, once I get past the automated gates, how much does my experience actually improve my chances?
