Need help and direction

Hi, I am first year student studying Statistics, Economics and Finance at UCL. I am a bit worried about getting into finance because I didn't get a spring week offer. Does anyone have any advice on what I need to know for fundamentals such as reading the news, learning valuation methods to try to add value to myself as a candidate?
