This definitely looks like a troll thread, but in the off chance that it is not.....A 4.0 from a target with relevant experience will get most first round interviews. If you spend some time networking, you should get pretty much every single one. Instead of trying to improve your resume, which is good enough as is, spend the money for the WSO review service ($199 I think) and your time networking.
And please, for the love of God, do not fall into the trap of just applying to and just networking with BBs. Reach out to EBs and MMs as well. I know several kids who did this for SA 2014 recruiting, and when BB interviews failed, they had nothing.
Thanks for your advice Sil! Yes, I will be sure to apply to all BBs, EBs and MMs while also networking with them.
Most BB's will be intimidated by your incredible accomplishments at such a young age, its better to knock your GPA down a few points in order to become competitive for SA positions.
