Do non-targets with otherwise-conpetitive CVs, 2–4 IB/PE internships, exceptional awards/achievements and extracurriculars stand a chance (considering there're no assessment tests to prune out any fraction of target applicants, unlike MS/UBS/Deutsche/Bnpp/Barclays)?

Do you have those 2-4 IB/PE internships ? If so how did you find them ? I’ve emailed almost 500 companies with 1 acceptance into a VC

 

How about other forms of "evidence" on your CV that your intellectual abilities are on the same level as the Oxbridge student, say performance in Olympiads—any consideration for the kinds of candidates whom only financial challenges & other non-academic factors have prevented from getting into target schools?

 

Don’t listen to teenagers. If you can impress a senior MD or a global head and get a referral, doesn’t matter what your school is. As long as you can interview, you’re in.
