IB Winter and Summer Internship Approach

Hello,

I am from Canada and I attend a target business school.

My computer and modeling skills are pretty weak. I recently purchased the Wall Street Prep course and the IB course from WSO. Given that applications open in about a month or so, is it a realistic approach to study my ass off to make the cut?

I currently don’t work a job and have tons of free time.

Or should I wait for next years applications and network in the meantime while studying?

Please be brutally honest. Is it POSSIBLE/DOABLE?
