Junior Looking for SA Resume Critique

As the title states, I am a Junior at a non-target University (Top 25 Undergrad Business school, Top 50 National University) looking for SA positions this summer in IBD. Please rip my resume apart and share thoughts on whether or not I would even be chosen for an interview. I do plan on cold emailing some alumni from my HS, which does have a presence on Wall Street.

Take out MS Office stuff from skills- not a skill that can be listed on a resume, as everyone is expected to know it already. I'd also remove the HS from your resume, no matter how prestigious it may be.

In my opinion you'll have a pretty tough time getting interviews unless you have a strong network to rely on- reach out to as many people as you can and maybe you'll be able to land one that way.

Good luck.

 

I don't like the way how so many bullets go only a few words onto second line. Throws off the balanced look. I would try to be a little more concise (It gets a little wordy in some bullets). Otherwise, the resume layout is a check. As said above, I would lean heavily on network as GPA will be a limiting factor. Don't be discouraged though, I'm a 2.6 GPA guy that found a way in.
