RE: Spring Weeks (Should I purposely leave out an extracurriclar?)

Hi,

So I'm currently trying to carve out a good CV for Spring cycle 2024 - incorporating action verbs, selling my experience etc.

My major concern here is when I got to extracurriculars.

I've included the fact I've sat in on a financial modelling webinar (free) before. It was by city investment training - won't ever be buying their course - but thought it would be interesting and I'd assume it shows some sort of proactivity as an incoming 1st year.

(Also done some forage work, but this is only 1 IBD experience + 1 strat consulting - more negligible as these are done at your own pace, some help available, easier template options etc.)

I'm worrying that when it comes to they will grill me about any technicals more than the average applicant if they go over my CV etc...

Wondering what people's thoughts are about this, and what people's suggestions are?
