2) relevant work experience or internship at least
3) school, and by that i mean university, not jc, and results. nobody gives two hoots about which jc u were from, and most hiring manager, especially if he is a foreigners, don't know nor care about it
4) cca and prizes are good, but they don't really matter because if you are good, that would already be reflected in your results. and only top international prizes matter, like olympiad
or putnam. anything else is just an interesting (hopefully) talking point
as for the candidates, B and C stand out with C being the better choice since there is relevant experience. McKinsey experience is good only if i am looking for a business manager, not a trader. For sales role in FO, all of them stand a chance and it depends on who can speak and look best.

Look its a given that if you hv the right contacts in the company, or if u used to be an intern in the company, you have a better chance for FO roles. My answer above assumes that you have neither, and the recruiter is reviewing your resume on an unbiased basis.
Agree that internship and university results are most important and thought I had made myself clear enough in my post. if you have a singaporean screening, jc track record etc will play a part as well.
I'm not a recruiter but am on the business end deciding which of the HR screened candidates to call for an interview. So believe it or not, I leave to the forum, but tot I'd give my 2c ...
