What are my chances of getting into APM programs at companies like Meta and Uber as a student from a non-CS background and little experience?

Currently working on my MS Finance degree, graduating in December. Working on my resume and was wondering if I should include a projects section (which would be projects/assignments from classes)?

I don’t have much experience as I went into grad school right after undergrad (graduated December 2021).

Hmm this is a tough one because I think the experience stuff may end up catching you out. I would maybe look for entry level roles in other tech places before going for the big ones

Do you mind looking over my resume?
