I go to a top public university (UNC, Texas, UVA, UMich, UCLA) and I am looking for a SA position at a BB or elite boutique (EVR, GHL, etc.) for next summer.
Most recent experience is a boutique (18 person shop) bank in New York City.
Also, please give me a realistic idea of what my chances are for next summer's recruiting. I have networked a fair amount at all of the firms where I am interested.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Depends what school you are in within the "top public universities". If you are in Ross at Michigan, then you have good chances. But since you are asking this question on this forum, im assuming your are some sort of general studies major.
Why would posting a resume to hopefully be reviewed in the "Public Resume Review" forum mean that he is a general studies major? I fail to see the correlation there. Also, if you had even looked at his resume you would have seen that his degree is a BSBA which would imply to me that he is, in fact, in a business school. However, please feel free to refute me, my reasoning skills may be flawed.
You have a very solid resume. Great grades, good work experience, solid extra-curriculars, leadership, etc.
That being said, I have a few critiques:
1) Pick one address 2) You don't need to put (every semester) following Dean's list 3) I would expand the UBS sophomore symposium at least a little
The big one:
Your experiences should be quantified in some way. Meaning, right now your bullet points just state that you completed/did XYZ, while they should say completed XYZ which led to/produced 123 for the firm or deal.
Those reviewing resumes are going to be looking for people who not only contributed in their previous work experience, but whose contributions made a difference and produced a specific result.
I'm not going to handicap your chances at a SA position because in this market there is too much competition for just a solid resume to get you a spot. You need to network your ass off and interview well. Good luck, though.
Going to b-school in Texas is different than going to b-school at Michigan. Thats my point.
If you're in a good b-school, you're usually aware of your prospects. If you're in a mid-tier program, recruiters won't look at your resme, thats the harsh reality of it. Doesn't matter how good your resume is.
McCombs is a solid program.
And that wasn't your point. Or you wouldn't have mentioned general studies. Admit it. You tried to be an asshole and it didn't work.
McCombs is solid as far as undergrad business schools go. The fact that you even mentioned general studies shows how dumb your post is because it clearly says BSBA on his resume (which you didn't even look at).
Believe it or not there are people from non-targets at BBs. It's not like they simply trash every resume that isn't from a target.
It's okay to admit you showed your ass on your last post.
Leave your Business GPA off. Your cumulative GPA is beyond good enough.
Put Expected May 2013.
Summer Analyst:
", led to more frequent and higher trading volume"
"Researched" instead of "Conducted research"
"more than 650 private equity firms"
make 10-Q and 10-K plural because I'm assuming you looked at more than one.
PWM:
I think you can safely take the (R) out of Bloomberg.
"Researched" instead of "Conducted research"
"more than 500 clients"
I also think you can quantify the last bullet a little more - how did the campaign go? Did you reach the goal?
Also, up top should be "Work Experience" instead of just experience. "Leadership Experience" instead of "Leadership".
Leadership:
Did your business plan work? Any quantifiable results? Was it approved? Elaborate a little.
Success of club so far? Members, revenues, current responsibilities?
Take "2011-2012" out of your business fraternity title.
Of your 65 potentials, how many pledged? Was this an increase over last year? Show how your campaign was better than the previous effort.
Since it is current experience, might want to talk about current responsibilities.
spell out "10".
take out "the" before "850".
"Mentored and supported 44 transfer students with their transition to XYZ U" You don't need to say incoming, it's implied by the fact that they are transfers.
Take Investing off your interests.
I'd expand on your UBS Symposium thing.
