Applying to Spring Weeks without any finance experience

Hi,

I'm gonna be applying to investment banking spring weeks in the next few months, but I haven't got any finance experience at all. Do a lot of applicants already have some sort of relevant work experience/internships? Also, if I'm going away for the whole of August, is there any realistic chance of me being able to get some during september?

I do have extra curriculars at university, if that counts for anything.

Cheers
