I would get rid of the periods. Also, capitalize the words in your activities and interest section.
It's pretty difficult to tell what you are interested in besides ARTS from your resume. A MSF might be necessary to get more finance related internships and a degree from a better school.
Thank you for the excellent advice so far. I agree that my resume is on the artsy side; I tried my best to play up the finance side of the artsy, and hoped that my music experience would give me some personality. Other than getting an internship (which I'm working on doing!) or getting and MS in Finance (which I'm considering,) is there any way to edit my resume to make what's there look more finance-driven?

Getting a certificate program is fine too, I know a ton of people on this forum emphasize degrees but a certificate could allow you to take all of the preferred "relevant" courses for a career on wall street with a discount. The premium for the MS is due to recruiting and it isn't really worth it if your planning on an MBA

Thank you very much for the great advice. My career center kept drilling that we keep the SUNY on there - but I'll go ahead and remove it. I did take finance & accounting courses, but I figured that everyone lists those, whereas Economic Forecasting (time series forecasting) and Corporate Reorganization (where we covered chapter 11 restructuring from a legal and financial standpoint) would be unique. Should I rename the courses to be more specific, or do away and stick to finance/accounting type stuff?
What do you think is a good way to list my honors thesis work? I got to design an econ experiment and collect data, and then do regression analysis with econometric packages, find trends, and write them up. Wouldn't that be relevant experience? What would be a good way to present it?
Finally, can you elaborate on the certificates? I've never heard of that sort of thing.
Thanks a ton! Your advice is really applicable and useful.

suny binghampton huh?
I think you can get rid of the additional info around your Cumulative GPA, 3.6/4.0 suffices
Get rid of all the periods underneath the Education section. Those aren't sentences.
I would get rid of the ACT score and average course loads.
Need capitalization under Skills, Activities, and Awards. Ex: 'Fluent in Russian, Conversational in French'
Agree with BTbanker's sentiments above. There is a lot of artsy ish on here, especially if you are gunning for a finance related positions.
