LAC Rising Junior Resume Review

Hello there,

I'll put my resume here, and you can read the some of my thoughts below if you like

I'm a rising junior coming from a top LAC (think Amherst/Middlebury/Wesleyan) and I'm interested in investment banking. Like almost everyone, I'm looking to do a SA stint at a bulge bracket or a top MM. We get some on-campus recruiting from bulge brackets, some MMs and boutiques, but overall, not that much since it's a small school.

Still, there's a tight and relatively large alumni network and I've been reaching out and getting a lot of success (pretty much everyone gets back to me) in connecting and getting info. Some of them are asking me for resumes now, and I'd like to get mine reviewed before sending them out.

I'm a math/physics double major, 3.6 GPA. Wish it were higher considering how much work I put in, but presumably, it's okay. Did a PWM internship this summer, which would've been boring but they started having me do some actual work besides cold calling (they were impressed by my ability to do the bullshit "learning experience activities"), and I wrote an equity research report and wrote a sales pitch to go with it. It did get clients to open accounts with the them. Besides that, I have some more experience as an industry leader/officer in the finance committee, as well as some personal investing/giving investing picks to my parents.

Parts I have issues with:
I just put down my econ courses and a sample some of the harder courses I took for the coursework thing. Not sure if I should just get rid them or not, we don't have really have finance classes since it's a LAC.

I'm not very sure what to do with the DKNY sales job. The asian male quant major interested in IB is pretty common and I fit right under that in many ways, so I just threw that on there to slightly differentiate. I like to think I'm familiar with menswear and am pretty outgoing/good with people. I'd like to avoid the usual quant robot stereotypes.

Obviously, coming from a LAC I don't have as much experience in finance, particularly corporate finance and excel stuff. Most of my experience is in equity research type stuff, although I'm in the process of doing some self studying (BIWS or Wall Street Prep, I read through WSP's Crash Course in Accounting, reading Rosenbaum/Pearl, etc). So any advice concerning that would be helpful as well.

Thank you!
