About internships and Graduate Schemes

Hello,I’m going to be final year student this year and I didnt have any summer internships 😭 Next year I need to apply for graduate schemes and I dont have any ideal work experience to show off in my cv i afraid this might cause disadvantage for my application

Can i still apply summer internships as a final year student for next year as I know applying to graduate schemes for investment banking or Assessment management directly will be no used ?

I’m also planning to apply Big 4 graduate schemes eventhough I have barely work experience.Can anyone who have been successful in graduate schemes share some tips ?

I appreciate all ur recommendations Thank you~
