What grade system should I use while applying?

Hi guys,

I'm currently a student in Spain, coming from a non target and I'm just about to start my sophomore year. My grades right now are "7.92/10". Should I put "Second-class honours" instead in my application for Spring Weeks? My thoughts are that maybe it will give me better results given that it's the equivalent and I understand that it is the minimum required to pass the cut-off.

Thanks.

 

Isn't it, like, impossible to get Spring Weeks in the UK without having top-notch grades from a target? I'd imagine it's even tougher from a non-target in continental Europe.

To infinity... and beyond!
 

It definetly is hard, but I know a guy at my university who had a phone interview for a SP with JP Morgan. He failed.

It makes me think is not impossible to get a call, and I think easier than getting an internship. Thoughts?
