I edited my resume (I know i screwed up last time I did this, my bad...) Please let me know what I need to do next. I need to give out resumes to others. I am planning to apply for Big 4/any accounting jobs, finance jobs. I am from a non target, but targeted from the Big 4.

For a Big 4 resume, the first concern I would have is how many credit hours you have. Indicate clearly in the education section when you will have 150 credit hours - you need 150 to be eligible for the CPA credential. Your GPA should be your second concern; you're very close to the cutoff so your resume may be set aside before a Big 4 recruiter even reads further than that. If you can't get the 150 credit hours or you can't get your GPA up any more, you'll have to aim for F500 accounting/finance jobs.
A couple things you can do now are joining the AICPA and your state CPA society as a student member, and joining your campus accounting society. These are very easy things that will add some weight to your resume. After that, I would ask someone in your university's career services department whose first language is English to do a quick review and rephrasing.
After you cover these things, give us an updated resume and we can work on the details. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice. As of right now, I have time( i know i will get up to 138 after graduation). I also plan to join a business frat and attempt to get a job as a tutor at business center.
I would like to get a F500 acct/finance internship right now. I am wondering if you can help me.
Some general comments:
1) Keep your bullets to two lines maximum. Any more than two lines, and they become so confusing that no one will read them.
2) Remove "exercise" from your interests. Unless you can list something achievement-oriented like "powerlifting" it sounds funny.
3) Remore "social media" from your skills. That says to employers "I will spend my days on Facebook instead of working hard".
4) Be more specific. "Influenced runners by working hard during hard workouts and performed the role of a role model to others." is not a good bullet. Neither is "Developed more knowledge in business by learning which business methods to use in order to solve problems..." It's a bunch of words that don't communicate anything. It should sound more like "Applied Porter's Five Forces model to assess competitive environment and respond with appropriate corporate strategy".
5) You really need to sit down with someone in your school's career services who has English as a first language and who can help with sentence structure. That's not something I can help with over the internet.
