Junior non-target for IB -- give me your worst!

I'm a fellow applicant, so don't take what I say too seriously, but isn't your GPA a little on the low side? Is it possible to list a major GPA as well or something that is higher?

If I were you, I'd be very careful about what I put down as technical knowledge. You might want to fix what you've written about python (just in case you get someone who knows a lot about computers interviewing). You should probably clarify what you mean by syntax because python uses a lot plug in libraries (like numpy, scipy, etc), and also boolean loops are super standard so anyone who's taken two weeks of an introductory programming class will be able to write them in any language (looking up the syntax quickly). Personally, I've done a lot of programming based projects/internships and I'm not going to list C++/Python in my skills (I'll just mention them in relation to the projects). As someone who's somewhat in the know about programming, I feel that listing boolean loops as a skill backfires because that's the most basic technique used, and it almost seems like you're trying to fill up space in the skills section.

I'd leave the GPA on. It's not the highest, but not listing it may lead the person reviewing your resume to think it's below 3.0, which is not the case.

A few other things: - Cut down on the coursework. The majority of undergrads in business programs have to take those courses. I'd leave Econometrics, Financial Management (without the topics covered), Financial Accounting. Take out Calculus. I've yet to hear an investment banker need to use Calc III. - Some of your bullet points are not in the same tense. I understand you're still currently working, but I believe the norm is to go past tense. - Not sure if the introductory line is needed for each experience especially on a student management fund. - Unless you have extensively traveled throughout the world take out international travel. Too cliche.

Either WSO is bugging out, or this is the third account and third thread on the first page which you've posted this resume: //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/junior-ib-summer-analyst-resume //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/junior-for-ib-sa-applying-monday

Regardless - I think you should ditch the tiered bullet points as well as the non-bulleted description line for each experience. Keep it all bullets and consistent. This resume is hard on the eyes (as is the GPA)

By linkedin at the top, do you mean you post your actual linkedin url or something? That is not a good idea. The bullet system you're using is almost aneurysm inducing, you can have one sub-bullet at the most per bullet. Quantify your results better, right now I'm see what you did, but not what happened as a result. Expand on PE, limiting on the venture accelerator if need be, because unless you have some really valuable experience from writing the classified ads, Lazard and GS don't advertise their advisory services in the Sunday shopper. Also, don't include "Internship is ongoing" we all know it isn't December yet.

I'm also a non-target 5th year applicant with nowhere near the experience you have, so feel free to brush off anything I have to offer.

But I would suggest removing LinkedIn, only because finding your LinkedIn is easy by searching your name and university. Also, I think moving SAT next to GPA, and removing CR/Math and the percentile would clean things up a bit. It's obvious that you scored well, so probably not necessary to provide so much detail. International travel probably can be removed, based on the fact that you studied abroad. Also, under UK university, you could probably put Semester Abroad or Programs Abroad, because they know you're a student.

You would probably want to remove the intro line for each experience. And something that someone told me that I found helpful was to take your experiences, and reconfigure them to reflect on whether you were able to reach or exceed goals, and was there more responsibility taken on? Even if you didn't, try and spin it that way. Also, think about how you structure your experience and whether it makes sense chronologically. Use strong, positive action words that jump out instead of mundane verbs. You only get 20 seconds for your resume to be read, so might as well be bold and confident.

A little tinkering will make this look very polished. Good luck!
