“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Excel is not a skill, need bigger margins (no less than 0.75), add an interests section to differentiate yourself.
Thank you for the input I have changed my margins.
Your education dates are confusing as to why you are taking a gap in your normal studies and doing the semester in D.C. Not saying its bad, just give an explanation as to why somewhere in the American U line. Also, add a beginning date to your GSU experience and add '2014 expected'.
Lots of intern experience is nice, but too many bullet points for each one. The first bullet in your Walt Disney experience seems kind of useless, maybe its too vague but I might lose it altogether. The last bullet in the Rockmart is useless.
Mention which 'valuation techniques' in the Portfolio Team, such as fundamental (DCF, multiples) or technical or whatever. No period at the end of the first bullet in AIESEC. Try to combine the last three bullets of AIESEC, save some space there.
Your skills section is really bare. Either add more skills and interests or lose it all together.
Thank you cluelessjoe. I have made the necessary changes by deleting the useless information. I will work on my Skill & Interest section. I truly appreciate your help.
Your resume should only feature: numbers, awards, and achievements. It is not necessary to list what you did in a particular job, but rather how you overachieved. The thought process to recruiters is that everyone will do roughly the same thing in any particular role- your resume should highlight how you outperformed anyone else.
Think about how you can highlight your work- you have the experience on there, you just need to turn it so that you are selling yourself.
I know GA State has the Panthers on Wall Street program you should think about participating.

Thank you for the insight upod01. I will think of ways to spin my resume to sell myself.
I have uploaded an updated version of my resume.
