Pre University work experience?

Going to a target (UK) this year, how important is getting finance-related work experience for CVs when applying to spring weeks? Missed the rothschild and JP morgan pre university deadlines but applied to MS which i doubt will be successful due to bombing some psych tests i didn't know would be part of the process (for a pre U). Have sent out some emails to local asset management/investment banks but haven't had much luck. Are these particularly important? Any other opportunities that i should know about as well since i'm struggling to find any; SEO London aren't getting back to me either.

thanks for the help
