Critique my Resume - Rising junior applying for IB

I'm a rising junior and I'm planning on applying to IB internships for next summer. Here's my resume (Based on the M&I template):

http://www.razume.com/documents/21228

Since I'm a transfer, I'm finding it a bit hard to construct the "Education" section. I don't have a GPA yet since I start at my new college (target) in the Fall. Thus, I don't know what to put there. I don't want internships to think that I am hiding a bad GPA by not putting anything.

I'm not sure where to put my SAT score and where to indicate that I am a transfer student. I'm also not sure how to present "Relevant Coursework." As of now, there are two sections with Relevant Coursework (one for each college). If I make a "Relevant Coursework" block of text two lines under the Non-target block, it looks like it is all coursework from my old school. I'm trying to downplay my old school as much as possible. If I make "Relevant Coursework" its own section, I will have to delete something to get the resume to fit on one page.

Also, since there is more information under the title of my old, non-target school than my new, target school, and since the target's name is so close to the line, I am afraid that recruiters might only see the non-target college's name at first glance (and then immediately throw my resume in the trash).

I wouldn't worry about the non-target being an eyesore or whatever. Your target school's name is on top and will stick out first. Plus this would be a great story to tell during an interview...You obviously didn't settle and had a plan to get where you wanted.

Some random shit:

  • Take your retail store experience out, given the date range, that job was before you started college. Use the new space to expand on your most recent internship. Make it sound more sexy, quantify some shit (I don't know much about resume structure), but it sounds pretty lame right now.

  • Maybe add another bullet point to your law office experience and another bullet point to your video biz.

  • I have no idea how to answer your other questions sorry (GPA and relevant coursework).

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
