Question to those who have already completed/ applied to an IB spring week:Is 320 UCAS point a large hinderance to getting interviews or places on spring weeks?

Why did you post 3 times? The rule of three doesn't really apply in this situation mate.

It kind of matters but depends on the firm.

Some ask for 300 ucas points, some 340.

I know people who had below that and got many spring weeks.

If your application is good and you really impress, I don't think they will just turn you away because of some UCAS points.

Well one would be great, but I want to have the best possible chance when applying for summer internships and I feel like several would help me stand out, also hopefully they'll like the fact I'm taking a few extra courses relevant to the sector in my spare time. Not many people could have done the ICAEW CFAB, CISI Foundation module in Investment banking and securities and the claritas program before even starting a job in the sector

Hey,

I am strongly considering doing the claritas program but this has slightly concerned me:

I know it's just a few people's opinion but if I had it on my cv and when I apply for first year internships in October (first year undergrad to start this fall) could they think I am only made for back office stuff? I was hoping it could only serve as a positive and I do intend to take the cfa programs once I am eligible in the future.

Anyone's thoughts please?

I think that no experience is bad experience. Whichever area of the bank you want to go into by trying other areas you can a)rule them out and decide that you're better suited to other roles and b)it'll give you a better overview of how all the departments work together. As long as you put positive spins like that on it in interviews as opposed to "I have experience here so I can only work in that area", then I don't foresee it being issue.

There's really not much point in taking this.. Especially if you're not already working in some form of equity research or analyst role at a hedge fund.
