Trying to land spring weeks, messed up my a levels. Any advice on my cv would be greatly appreciated.
Is it even worth applying at this point or is a chance of getting spring weeks completely gone

Bullet point next to personal profile should not be there slight mistake
way too much blank space. you need to try fill it with as much as possible alongside action words and quantifying your impact. you have some good experience for a first year so utilise it by really fleshing out your points.
also personally i wouldn’t have the intro- HR only spend 5 secs per CV so they aren’t gonna read all of it.
Use the LSE BIG Guide as a reference for what you should do regarding formatting/ filling the page up.
Thanks appreciate it
Triple B is going to fuck you over so badly. You will get rejected by pre-screening for a lot of the firms.
Still worth applying though
So even if I get predicted firsts at uni when it comes to summer internships I’ll still be fucked?
Meh firms don't really consider first year grades. I got a 2:2 first year (at my uni first year has 0% weighting) and still got summer internships. Firms understand that first year is unserious (unless you do prelims at Oxbridge) and sometimes weighted 0%.
To answer you other comment if you want to maximise chances of getting a FT job in 2027, then probably don't waste your time applying to front office roles at BBs/EBs. Insurance is really underrated in this country and can provide good comp with decent WLB. Big 4 pretty much takes anybody these days so you could apply to them for audit etc.
That is plain attention whoring right there, you got it at MS last year. why wont you get it again
don't feed
thats a virtual webinar series lmao, these kids got to stop prestige baiting
Is it not good to have that there?
Bruh why is everyone obsessed with finding out their “odds” or “chances” of getting a spring just apply for everything and take what you can get
I don’t want to waste my time applying to things that just won’t happen, I’d much rather spend my time applying to other options and then maximising my chance of getting them if they’re more viable
