Help Refine My Resume (Kill it.)

http://www.razume.com/documents/22101

A few clarifying things:

I'm from a non-target (State school).

My prop trading work is for a fairly retail online firm. Real program, but its not necessarily reputable.

I also have a couple clubs that I'm in senior positions with, so I ask you if I should squeeze them on there.

Really I'm asking about everything - format, content, wording, anything that'd be helpful. Thank you all very much, it's highly appreciated!

lol ACT. No hate from me because I did better on my ACT as well but Wall Street is an SAT world man. You'll probably be looked at as a hick from bumfuck nowhere if you put that on IMO.

"Finance and Economics"

Take the comma out after May in May 2014.

Solid GPA. Well done.

You're now done with your IB internship, all your shit needs to be in past tense.

You have a period after comp here, and no period below. Fix it.

Your verbs need more action in them.

If your online firm has a real location, I would put it down. Makes the experience stand out by not looking like the rest of your resume.

If you still do your prop trading, put it in present tense. Your statistics are somewhat confusing, you have a percentage on one end and a ratio on the other. Standardize the two.

take out "via firm chat room". It's not 1994. No one cares how you communicate.

Use "first and second year students" instead of "lower-classmen". If you currently do this, why is it in past tense?

Competitive swimming - any results you can put down to make yourself look impressive?
