$10 bucks says this kid goes to Cornell.

Get rid of the SAT crap and the relevant course work. If you attend an Ivy we know the possible range for your SAT and your majors give off the classes.

We need results kid, WTF did you actually accomplish?

No idea how you came to this conclusion. His username isn't "Cornellian11" or anything....

Don't listen to this guy. A BB alumnus told me that, one cycle, they threw out all resumes that didn't have SAT scores on them. Keep them on.

I'm preparing my resume as well and I was wondering if it was ok to add politics as an interest like the OP did or does that open it up for them to probe which party you're pulling for and possibly pissing them off.
I'm in the camp that says "leave it off". It's not because I care what your viewpoints are (I don't care), but more so the though process in my head is "this is this kid's one opportunity to show that he's cool, and the best thing he can come up with is politics?" There's nothing really interesting or anything that would make you stand out in my mind because of that. If you actually are interested in politics and you have something to show for it, talk about the mock UN or whatever you participated in.

This goes for all interests, don't put it on there unless you have a interesting story to tell if somebody asks. Otherwise if I, being the interviewer, say "oh, you like politics. tell me about what you like about politics" and you come back with "um, well, um i like to read the opinion section of the wsj and listen to 'talk of the nation' on npr" it wouldn't really impress me because it's frankly boring.

hey guys thanks for the help so far. Here is my updated resume, and I'm wondering if people can take another look.

Is it really smart to take SATs off? I've been told otherwise on here and around campus. Also, do I need to change 4.0 to 4.00? I just feel like it seems a little tacky...

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated (I also plan to change politics).
