Impressive resume. I'm a senior and in a lot of ways you have more experience then me. Honestly have no idea whether or not it'll get you top tier PE right off the bat, but keep it up and maybe
You asked if there's any new experience to have to be on that track. Looks like you're interning in VC now, I imagine the next step would be interning at a boutique PE. Have fun too haha
EDIT: Misread your post - you're already doing PE this summer

Hey man, here is my take on an interests section. You usually see it used to convey an INTEREST in finance when you have no relevant experience. That said, the stuff you put in there can potentially hurt you more than help you. I usually advise people to take it out... I think your resume is stacked so you might as well take it out, there is no need for it.
I would also remove "Kitty Cats" from your political views on Facebook or at least make it more secure.
Before I begin: as far as the Internet goes, I think you have revealed too much information in your resume (especially considering you blacked other parts out). You can probably take WordMasters off your LinkedIn.
Add Expected to May 2014
You can probably drop the hundredth digit from your GPA and just write GPA instead of Overall, but that may just be my preference.
You have a period at the end of your first VC bullet point.
I'd change your VC job to be Winter Analyst instead of VC Analyst. It's more congruent with your other jobs and describes what you're doing more accurately since you aren't full-time.
Change $500,000 to $500K
Change $100,000 to $100K
Change over 2,800 to 2,800+ or more than 2,800
Take the dash out between Merrill Lynch and Private Wealth Management
Change over $4,000 to more than $4,000
Using over 18 in your bullet point about FBA seems arbitrary. So there were 19? Because if there were 20, you would have said 20. Just write the exact amount of teams.
Change over $10,000 to more than $10,000
I might take off the management consulting stuff for finance related jobs? But for buyside it might be more relevant.
Take the money amounts out of your case competition results.
Change "Additional Information" to "Skills and Interests"
Take Microsoft Office suite out of skills.
Take your last three interests out.
Take Work Status out unless a company specifically requests it.
Your dash in between Fall 2010 and Present for your first EC is inconsistent with the other ones. Same thing with your case competition dates and your University Honors dates.
It looks like the comma in between the organization's name and your job title for your first EC is not bolded (the rest are)
Regardless, fantastic stuff man. Kicks the shit out of pretty much everything that gets posted on here.
It looks like you're using a modified M&I format, but I'd consider using the standard education format. What you have now uses a lot of unnecessary space in my opinion. Going to the standard format would allow you to space the rest of your resume out a little more, allowing it to read better at a quick glance. You can put your SATs and GPA on the same line also.
Make your name a little bigger as well. As far as I can tell, it seems pretty small. You want that sucker large and in charge.
I didn't look that much into the actual content of your bullet points (quick glance) but if you make these changes come back with the new version and I'll get into the actual content more.
MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I went ahead and deleted the resume because I carelessly revealed too much information about myself. Many of you gave some great advice though.
Also, in regards to formatting, I'm using my school's format. If I deviate from this format at all (i.e. remove Work Status), then I get banned from our on-campus recruiting. This format hasn't hurt me in the past though, so things should be alright.

Stellar resume bud.
I'd get rid of the work status
I would kill the Indian Culture, Hip Hop Music, and Work Status. Otherwise nice resume.
Second this.
Also SECfinance ftw.
