Just curious - how did you secure the SA position with your GPA? Networking or just through applications?
.
Retake the SAT to get it over 2200. It may sound like a bad idea, but you won't need to study a lot just brush up on the format and waste four hours one Saturday. Infinitely worth it because there are GPA/SAT cut-offs for resume-drops.
Work on getting your GPA above 3.3 and build a story to explain why your GPA is only ~3.
I would cut-down experience to the top 3 most pertinent and elaborate my balls off. Also cut-down interests/activities to the top 3 you spend the most time on/can tell a good story about that shows off some characteristic like determination/commitment.
.
As far as grammatical errors and formatting are concerned, I think your resume looks great. I would recommend spinning your IB experience depending on the group you're applying for. Did you work closely on any deals that summer? Even if all you did was draft pitch books all summer, mention any sector specifics that you have experience in. That way if you wrote up a pitch book or did an analysis on a natural gas company, that experience shows when applying to energy groups. Does that make sense?
Does SAT really matter that much? It's just an admissions test you got over with back in high school in my opinion. I have talked to recruiters and none of them brought SAT scores up on resumes. I guess if its really high then it can't hurt to put it down.
.
Just a small thing, in the interest column I would scrap the dinning out. It just seems sort of out there and isn't really relevant.
Actually "Craft Beer/Microbreweries" is much better than "dining out" -- which means all you do is eat food and not contribute to society. Using an action statement such as currently making a new beer (use better wording) is impressive to the boys club.
Leave it on, because you will be quizzed on beer.
.
Last line of activities why are power lifting and dining out lower case? Also I would expand on the Ibanking summer internship. Talk about comparables, valuation stuff that actually means something. Also it would be great to talk about results. Say assisted in valuations for comparable companies worth XXXmm.
As a general rule, I leave off GPA if under a 3.5. However, I know others on this site would disagree.
I'm no expert so I'm just comparing your resume to mine:
Format is great and I wouldn't change anything
-Maybe consider removing the community college section entirely and just finding your total average GPA? -Maybe consider removing your GPA entirely and replacing with your SAT?
Your experience is obviously invaluable, and as you said earlier was entirely the result of networking -- keep that up, as i think no matter what your GPA is that is key
goodluck!

Bullet points do not need periods at the end of them.
Need to use Bullet Points, Beacause Its look like Perfect Professional Resume and Highlights all Main data.
Didn't know that, thanks.
Why is money, banking, and financial markets under activities?
and yes, if you leave your GPA off it will be assumed to be under 3.0, so it's better on than off.
