S&T SA Resume Review - Any feedback would be appreciated

I am about to begin applying to banks across New York that have summer analyst programs for sales and trading. I want to make sure my resume is air tight before getting up there, so any feedback anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Your resume has nowhere near the amount of material to merit using size 8 font, or whatever that is.

Your student managed investment fund for example, first two bullets tell us nothing delete. Honestly that should all be pooled into 2 bullet points, because they are basically all fluff that tell us nothing.

Same goes for the wealth management intern. That is all fluff and a lot of it probably isn't even true. Again condense down.

I can only assume since you don't have your SAT on there that you go to a non target. You need to either take the GRE/GMAT, or worst comes to worst retake SAT. There is no way that you should have that much text on a resume, especially when 70% is fluff. Condense, condense, condense.

OK, after I condense it, what font size is normally standard for an SA resume? I have had over 30 people on Wall Street review my resume and they have not mentioned anything about that, but all advice helps.

Yes I go to a non-target, I am going to New York this week to visit all of the alumni from my school and friends I have talked to that work across Wall Street. I realize the disadvantage coming from a non-target, that is why I am working really hard to get my foot in the door and land interviews.

I do appreciate the feedback though, thank you.

 

Echo 2x2matrix.

Problems, just from skim: 1) Font too small. make at least 10 point and margins at least 0.5 x 0.5 in all around 2) Would move frat to below your skills&interests section. 3) Rename philanthropy to community service.
