Junior Year Strategy Consulting and IB applicant
Hey guys. So here's my situation: I'm a rising junior preparing my resume to apply to strategy consulting firms. In fact, that's what I really want to do, so the most helpful critiques would be aimed at improving this resume for a consulting gig. However, I'll also be applying to both bulge bracket and boutique banks, as junior year consulting internships tend to be even harder to secure than some of the banking internships and I don't want to be left with nothing. Given that, I'd appreciate some separate comments indicating how I should change my resume around to be more banking-ready. Just want to make it clear that this resume is purposefully aimed toward consulting as of now.
Besides my contact information, I left everything else visible, because I want you guys to have the best understanding possible without censoring job titles and companies. (I don't think I broke any WSO rules, but I can re-censor stuff if necessary.)
A few notes:
-This resume format is pretty much required for all on-campus recruiting, so I don't have any say about format/fonts/font size/header titles (ex. "Additional"); that being said, if you really disagree with something let me know, because I can make note of it when applying to certain positions off-campus
-I'm a member of a investment club as well, so I could include that in lieu of another experience for my IB-focused resume
-Don't go easy on me, no hard feelings and I appreciate honest critiques; the harsher the better as long as its constructive
Much appreciated, thanks everyone.

2 decimal points on GPA instead of 3 GPA should be your first bullet for both LSA & Ross, not last
put your emphasis/emphases under ross, i.e. Emphases in Finance and Strategy
1st bullet under Landmark.. weird semicolon, same with the 2nd bullet,etc etc shouldn't have any of these semicolons
so for first bullet, example: Integrated and organized data from multiple real estate-specific databases to locate property ownership and contact information for 1200 leads, increasing firm's total leads by over 100%
and instead of: Sourced 3 potential clients, strategizing and voting to determine the optimal client portfolio; Increased Nexecon'ʹs potential client pool by over 9%
