Shriya Rastogi

My name is Shriya, and I am a first-year economics student who is excited to apply for the Mentorship Executive role. Having been through the process of applying to Spring Weeks in the first year, I can understand how daunting and confusing the task can be.

Fortunately, I had the privilege of being mentored during my own first-year application journey. My mentor provided invaluable guidance and insights that helped me navigate the application process successfully. Thanks to his support, I secured Spring Weeks at like Nomura and Macquarie in the investment banking division. I’m grateful for the resources societies at UCL have offered me to excel in application process and would like to give back to the society by sharing what I have learnt.

Through conversations with HR representatives and participants in the program, I gained a deeper understanding of the application process. This knowledge inspired me to contribute as a mentor to future students. I believe I can offer valuable advice based on my own experiences and highlight the aspects I wish I had known when I first applied.

I have also successfully converted my spring week at Nomura into a summer internship in the investment banking division. Therefore, I believe I can also give advice on how to make the most out of a spring week and how to do prepare for conversion interviews.

Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,

Shriya
