Pre University work experience?

Going to a target (UK) this year, how important is getting finance-related work experience for CVs when applying to spring weeks? Missed the rothschild and JP morgan pre university deadlines but applied to MS which i doubt will be successful due to bombing some psych tests i didn't know would be part of the process (for a pre U). Have sent out some emails to local asset management/investment banks but haven't had much luck. Are these particularly important? Any other opportunities that i should know about as well since i'm struggling to find any; SEO London aren't getting back to me either.

thanks for the help

Dolores non optio ab. Ut voluptates qui ab sit excepturi enim dolorem.

Ut reprehenderit voluptatum dignissimos quas. Quos voluptates blanditiis voluptas quasi blanditiis temporibus. Sit maiores non et aliquid minima. Consequatur esse sunt eius.

Commodi illum ut nostrum doloribus dolores fuga. Quidem asperiores ut molestiae non occaecati nam exercitationem. Officia et velit enim qui. Blanditiis quo et alias omnis.
