How to prepare for IB recruiting? Going to LSE undergrad next year.

Hi guys

I got into LSE and next year will be starting one of their non-econ programs, think history/government/philosophy. How should I prepare for the Spring Week recruiting? I will have 3.5 months in the summer and I would like to utilize this time efficiently. I don't have much on my CV apart from speaking another language, a week-long JP Morgan work experience for high school students and the LSE brand name. So what would you recommend?

Also, I will have 4/12 outside options. Which basically means that a third of my modules I will be able to take from other than my home department. What kind of classes should I take to have a better shot at IB? e.g accounting/economics/finance?

Cheers

 

Oh yeah, I definitely have seen you on the thread. Good luck with your application! As a fellow UK student and potentially a classmate, would you like to contribute something to my original question?
