Hello, I need some critique and what can I improve for applications into IB in London. I come from a non-target, right now I am aiming for 2026 off cycle internships. Blanked stuff cause people on the internet are weird. The EY thing I am still looking to revise, this was just an early draft

this might be a bit better for summer internship instead but since you don't have any previous IB/M&A/PE experiences, it's close to impossible to recruit for off cycle internships unfortunately
As another said, you have a pretty low chance for OCs. Non target, no high finance experience. Not even a finance related club.
There a few places you need to be more specific with bullets e.g. "streamlined information" - that's a meaningless two words.
Why are you reporting a GPA for a London school?
Aside from that, looks alright.
That makes sense, I redid my resume and I did this just as an outline, IB for me is not be all end all I’m just trying to grasp my chances and see the optimal pathway. Thanks for the help.
Also just realized I didn't answer your question, my school is US based, so they use GPA and not numerical grading system.

Damn, you don't have to be toxic, if your reading comprehension was above 10th grade level you would see that I said this is a rough draft, must be tough being only 1/10th of the man you wanted to be.
