Thoughts (coming from another freshman): - GPA too low to be relevant (3.5 is nothing in high school) - ACT too low to be on resume (no one cares unless its top 1-2%, or 33-34 and above) - Did you take Math SAT / SAT II's? Any Calculus work?

Honestly, this early in the game it's much more who you know and how you can talk to people. Your resume means virtually nothing (as you have nothing to show, except a few jobs, which is fine and is to be expected, but it won't get you an internship). Good luck.

 

Hey man I sent you my thoughts, I hope to see you there

best wishes, Fellow Fisher Frosh,

I want a lady on the street, but a freak in the bed, Go Bucks!!
 

Fair enough

A few points: -Eliminate composite after ACT -Interests are vague -eliminate proficiency in word, powerpoint, etc. -eliminate very good social / problem solving skills

Good luck.

You need to put your college first on your education, move your Expected Grad Date line up one line (and change it to Expected ______ 2015).

Specialization in Finance? Usually it's called something more academic like Concentration. Use the words your school uses. Also just an FYI, blanking out your school's name but leaving "National Buckeye Scholar" on there kinda defeats the purpose.

Don't put GPA: N/A on there. If your grad date says 2015, they'll know you're a freshman. Add GPA when you get your grades.

You spelled Excel wrong but it doesn't matter because all MS Office stuff should be taken off.

Take Following the Markets off.

I know you don't have much because you're a freshman but this will at least make what you have better. Go to your career services office for help honestly. It's a bit hard for us to help you because you don't have that much to work with.
