I'm applying for some accounting and corp. fin. internships next week, so I was wondering if anyone wants to help me out with some critiquing. I graduate in spring and feel super under-experienced, so I want to make my last internship count.Thanks.

Use stronger verbs for your bullets points under your internships. 1. Do not use "managed" twice in a row 2. Remove the publix position 3. Please come up with something better than "sat in on meetings." That adds no value 5. If you list your GPA as 3.52 you need to include the same amount of decimal places in the denominator, 4.00 6. Change over to the M&I template
By far the biggest issue I see is that you need to add more detail to the bullets on your resume.
Your resume is auto ding material. Scanning top to bottom I was looking for any finance experience, it took me a while to find it. You need to reorder. Move your relevant coursework and Wall Street Prep underneath your education. Expand on your top three internships--put some goddamn numbers in there. Remove the grocery clerk position (edit: just realized you still work there, I'd still remove unless you can somehow think of a good way to weave it into your story).
How'd you research the stocks, what sector, what'd you analyze, how'd you present it, what did your research lead to, who was it for. Your bullets are so generic it makes me think you either did/learned nothing at these places or never even worked there. Pump your own tires a bit. Make you sound more important than you were
Thanks a lot everyone I'll definitely be adding in your suggestions.
