I’ve just graduated with a BSc from LSE (in a humanities subject), and I’ve received an offer to study a STEM MSc at Imperial. I’m looking to get into PE and wondering what sort of things I ought to be doing now to make me a more competitive candidate in grad applications. FYI I do not have any finance related experience or internships.
