Question: is it possible/allowed to apply to a spring week in the first year of a four year course? Also, will I need to do a lot of reading about finance since I know little about it? (I'll be studying chemical engineering at Imperial)

1) normally not - but you could always say that it is a 3 year course... many students do that.
2) not specifically I know people that know jackshit about finance that still made it onto Spring weeks although I'd recommend you read financial news (the FT is good enough once a week - should have it for free through your university). And I'd recommend you get involved with the relevant finance societies at your school - they should help your regarding more specific readings - feel free to PM me about stuff to read depending on you area of interest ie M&A vs S&T vs ER vs AM etc

Thanks a lot for starting this thread. I shall be joining UCL for pursuing BSc Economics this september and will be applying for investment banks for the summer week. I am from India and will require all the help to make a credible application. Can you please advice me on preparing my CVs probably some example of successful CVs or any links that you know of, which I can read. Thanks once again.
google.com - more seriously plenty of available resources available online. Also join the finance societies they will help you.

Given that classes start around August/September and apps open around the same time, what should first years put down for grades/GPA? Should we just put down a list of classes or should we do something else in addition?

A lot of the Career sites dont have the spring weeks listed yet. When is it expected to come up? And do you guys think german students have a chance to get in?

I am now a first year maths student at Oxford. I am planning to apply AM spring week next year. Does any body know if the headcount of AM（both spring and summer）is significantly fewer than that of S&T？ If that is the situation， I might consider to apply for trading role instead.

all are <10
More than that for Springs (8 in both I believe) but can confirm 4 in Equities for SA/FT.

Does the participation in the BNP Paribas Discovery Days and Morgan Stanley Mixed Open Days benefit applications for spring weeks?

demostrates interest at the least
You have to be in your penultimate year of study so 4 year course you must be in second year.
Do i have a chance at IB with A*AB a-levels?
