Education:

Personal preference - I'd put full stops after each letter of "B.A." and use an ampersand instead of the word "and" between Economics / Management

Put your college down before "University of Oxford" (e.g. Balliol College, University of Oxford)

I also wouldn't have your degree as a separate bullet point, I'd include it as a subheading in italics - again, personal preference

Put a comma after the month for your time periods (e.g. September, 2020 - June, 2023)

Put a colon after "Predicted" (e.g. Predicted: First Class Honours)

Why not write your A-levels out like, "Mathematics (A*), Further Mathematics (A*)..." - cleaner, in my opinion (if you're going to keep it as it, use an Oxford comma at least)

Also, I assume you studied Ancient Greek A-level rather than the modern language - suggest amending accordingly

Work experience: 

Typo in the title (just say, "Work Experience" instead of "Work and Experience" - again, use an ampersand if choosing not to change)

Spaces between brackets (e.g. "blah_/_blah")

So many random capitals...

General note - sometimes you use full stops at the end of bullet points, sometimes you don't... My preference is for don't

Separate out Evercore and Lazard experience

Put locations on the right hand side under the periods of experience, rather than under the title

Leadership experience:

Don't call it leadership experience - call it "Extracurricular Experience" or something like that 

Skills, activities, and interests:

Misspelt "English" 

Stop capitalising random nouns 

19th century supercars... See this from Wikipedia: "The Lamborghini Miura, produced from 1966–1973, is often said to be the first supercar" - do you mean 20th century? (19th century is the 1800s)

Take watches off of your interests, looks pretentious

Would be curious to see what your CV looks like after these changes, so please re-post if you feel comfortable doing so

Best of luck...

Troll CV, Evercore have their conversion in September and Lazard haven't given out conversion yet.
