A Level Student seeking advice

Hey I’m a second year A level student looking at a career in trading. I’ve been to a discovery day at BNP Paribas about their markets division which got me interested in the industry and I want to ask what else I should do from now to make my resume stronger so that I can secure spring weeks at reputable firms (GS, JPM, MS etc.) and down the line, land a job at a top prop trading shop. I’m applying to sort of mid target unis for economics. Any advice helps!
