It all depends on your GPA, extracurriculars and signs of ambition. Learning how to do models is useful but defo not something they look for when they give your resume a first glance.
My tips would be:
-try to keep your grades as high as possible
-try to find extracurriculars (board years, committee's, university positions (like 'head of student counsil' or something)).
-write a killer of a cover letter
-network. Go to career events across the country and just talk to people
