not sure if other people do this, but I personally don't think adding your high school on your resume is relevant unless it's a networking plan to catch the eye of the hiring manager, or if it is a top high school. Just my 2 cents
noted, thanks

Join on campus finance and business clubs, they're your best bet right now. I would: - Round your GPA to 3.7/4.0 - Remove the (Math 36) part on the ACT - Don't bullshit what you did in those start-ups and don't make it sound too professional (they see through it) - Remove all your HS stuff (you're in your second year now) - Join more finance/business clubs and programs on campus -- Ask people in your finance club to get you a position
Does my bulletpoint at the startup sound too professional?
what other tips do you have on getting leadership positions aside from simply asking?
Resumes are supposed to make you sound good, however it doesn't sound realistic (I'm being a little blunt). If the firm goes on the offensive against that portion of your resume then they'll berate your for it.
There is no other way to get your foot in the door either than talking and asking. Join anything and everything you can to make yourself seem better than a non-target school. You have to overcompensate in other areas to standout in the IB world, if you come from a non-target.
I think business in general is a pretty bs major (content-wise) but in terms of being personable, it's hard for a lot. There is a reason why Software engineers are where they are and businessmen are where they are. Different skill sets.
