SA IBD Resume, Canadian non-target school

Hi all, I'm applying for summer analyst positions and I'd really value some feedback on how I can improve my resume.
I'm applying in Canada and the US but I'm not too optimistic about my odds of getting into the US, especially because I'm at a non-target Canadian school (UBC).
My resume can be found here: http://www.razume.com/documents/18262
Cheers

UBC isn't as bad as you make
UBC isn't as bad as you make it out to be. I don't know much about the school but why don't you go for the Portfolio Management Program (or whatever it's called)? Your GPA seems high enough.
Capital Markets should not be a "personal interest." Do you really need a profile? I can tell by your resume you're a Sauder B. Comm student looking to break into finance. Moreover, what happens if you land an interview with any non-mining group or on the equities side? If I'm an interviewer I'm going to hold it against you that your resume states specific interests in mining and fixed income. Sure, apply for those groups, but as a college student, you should be willing to take any decent job you can, and tell the interviewer you're specifically interested in *that group*.

Are you going to NIBC next
Are you going to NIBC next week? I would assume so. Network your ass off, but don't come off desperate like most those Sauder kids.

Thanks for all the feedback.
Thanks for all the feedback. I've scrubbed the profile out. I put the mining/fixed income stuff in there because I figured every applicant mentions a 'passion for the capital markets' and I was trying to put something more tangible in there. Point taken though.
Unfortunately I won't be at NIBC as I'm competiting in a business case competition that's out of town. For whatever reason, events keep conspiring to prevent me from attending. Last year, I had surgery that day and this year, I'm away. I've been phoning my ass off to try to make up for it though.
