Freshman Resume Questions

Hi!

I'm a freshman at a target-y college and have a few resume questions:

1) SAT or no SAT? I have a 2290 (700 M, 800 CR, 790 W) I promise I'm actually a math person, the SAT just didn't work out well.

2) HS leadership roles or not? Editor of newspaper, president of other club, etc . . . I talked to the career center and they said to leave it on, but I'm not sure.I have one business related internship I did over the summer, but not finance related.

3) Should I put my HS GPA on it since I don't have any freshman year grades yet?

4)This is unrelated, but which Vault guides would you say are the most useful? I have access to most of them.
