27 SA resume questions

copying and paste some stuff posted on r/financialcareer:

Low target (to semi target) sophomore here, non diversity male with average GPA (3.8).

Why 3 out of 3 students that I'll compete with for SA 27 recruiting who ask for resume roast on this forum all have some solid deal experiences or did something that ultimately lead to something productive

All I had for my internships (4 internships) is just one modeling exposure and all sourcing/analytical work after that. No deals done, no work assisting to deal closes. How common is this? Will I be at an disadvantage position?

Would also appreciate if anyone wanna roast my resume and give your 2 cents. I don't plan to upload my resume here but I'll shoot your inbox if you're willing to help lol

Normal no deal or related experience on resume?
