I'm targeting summer internships in london for 2027 which will start in a month or so. Currently studying at UCL doing science and engineering for social change and my a levels were AAB. I was fortunate enough to land 2 springs (one at DB, one at a big payments processor), sadly did not convert either. I know my a level grades are lacking but do I have a shot since I am mainly targeting MM/LMMs?

do you have a first year summer? if not probably go for springs again next year imo. or if you have some other experience you can leverage for summers then perhaps go for summers - LMM and MM is probably accessible to you.
Sadly not, but I don't understand how you can even get one as a first year, I tried for some off cycles but I think they're largely for masters students.
