Rising Sophomore Undergrad, Resume Critique/Advice
So I go to a Top 10 LAC based on US News, and top 15 college based on Forbes.
I'm just a rising sophomore and I know my internship really isn't that relevant but it was actually a last minute opportunity for me and otherwise I would've just been working at a Starbucks or something.
I know I shouldn't have much high school info, if any, but as a rising sophomore I feel like I don't have much else to put on anyways. Should I put ACT/SAT somewhere? I got a 34 and 2170, respectively.
I don't have my heart completely set on IB, but it definitely is a field I'm interested in. Next summer my school has an Economics program at Cambridge that I will most likely attend, and then my goal is to get an IB/IM internship in the winter.
Thanks to everyone in advance.





That achievements/activities
That achievements/activities section is way too disorganized. I can tell you're trying to make it chronological but it just comes off as confusing. A few of those items could probably be expanded to fit into your experiences section; others can be combined so they're not taking up so many lines. Short and sweet for the activities/interests section.

take the highschool gpa off
take the highschool gpa off and for achievements/activities just list few. also, add a interests section. and put your email and number on the same line and save some space

It's fine to put the SAT
It's fine to put the SAT score on.
Definitely clean up the Achievements section. I'd take the magazine/newspaper gig and move it up into the Experiences section. Then remove most of the bullets from when you were in high school.

Thanks for telling me what is actually wrong with it. Very clear answer. So is "Brian's template".

Sweet thanks for the help.

It seems a bit strange to only list a high school then, should I just take it off altogether?

Thanks for the comments. Should I only put both the ACT and SAT, or just one of them? My 34 translates to a higher SAT score so should I only put that if I can put one on?
