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.

- Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. - The harder you work, the luckier you become. - I believe in the "Golden Rule": the man with the gold rules.
 

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.

 

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.

 

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!
