I'm starting to reach out to people for FT recruiting and was looking for some feedback on my resume.
I'm applying for IBD at boutiques and BB. I worked as an intern throughout the year on a 6 month internship rotation at a boutique through June so I did not have a traditional summer analyst gig. I have just started interning at another boutique and I will be their through the fall.
Thanks for taking the time.

Some of the formatting stuff:
Thanks for the advice, I had that internship at the bottom to emphasize the internship with the most relevant experience because I haven't done much here yet. But, I understand it makes more sense to be chronological
Change the "August 2016" on the last internship you listed to "Aug 2016" to keep things consistent. Make sure you italicize it as well.
I don't really know how I feel about having activities up with education. I totally get the point of why it's up there, just don't know if it would look better down towards the additional info section.
Yeah, I agree. I had it down at the bottom at first but in its own separate section but I've just added it as the last line of Addition Info. Thanks a lot
I'm trying to help, please look this over and think carefully about starting over from scratch.
First off, you misspelled architecture.
"• Reviewed scientific as well as commercial research studies to evaluate opportunity" That is a sentence fragment.
"• Maintained accounting systems and produced financial reports to senior management" Should be "for" not "to".
"• Prepared and gave presentation to founder and 3 potential investors prior to kick-off for implementation stage" Another sentence fragment. (Hint: what is the implementation stage for?)
"• Applied statistical methods of regression analyses to determine effects on patient recovery" I know what you intended to say is you analyzed data about patient recovery but what you actually wrote says you are determining the effect statistics has on patient recoveries.
"• Interviewed senior officers of companies and research professionals to identify industry drivers" Another subject/object grammar error. Be more direct by speaking/writing like this; "interviewed corporate senior officers and research professionals to identify drivers of key industry performance data"
I'd revise almost 90% of this, the actual content isn't bad but you need to work on phrasing it in a more expressive manner.
(edit*-I'd take another point off for not having it in the right forum homie. edit** - NVM moved)
