Hi,

I'd say that your biggest hole right now is your niche. I Bank/Hedge Fund/PE can be a tough background because you have a lot of competition - especially in this current economic climate. To separate yourself you will need something in your application that makes you unique and personable. You'll really want to try to get this out in your essays though a less than tradition story.
