If you are already at a target school you don't need to put anything from high school on your resume. Use all of that space on your most recent job and your target school extracurricular achievements.
Separately, focus on minimizing unnecessary adverbs and adjectives.
Don't try to convert your GPA on your own. 3.3 will get you screened out at many places where a 3.7 won't even if this is a top school.
Thank you for the advice what is the maximum amount of bullets I should use for my current internship? My thought process with the adverbs was to make all the bullets the same length plus minus so it looks better overall. Do you think that this does not matter?
and the conversion for the GPA was only for the forum that you could relate better! Thanks for the feedback
Not sure why you have those certificates listed (thinking of the Yale one), no value add
Thanks, I will put it out. Do you think there is any certificate that could be worth it to break into investment banking? And do you think there are any weird bullets?
I also wanted to ask about the application process: I am going to apply to a lot of firms in the next few weeks and I have a lot of alumni from my university that work there. Do you think it's a good idea to connect with them on linkedin and ask them about a potential call and also say that I applied for their internship programm? Any advice for that would be appreciated.
