Make it dead.
General purpose resume, obviously not IBD specific, finance/consulting/management direction though.

Switch order between extracurricular and professional experience
Running a 5k in any amount of time shouldn't be on your resume unless you hold the gold medal in the olympics
^Agreed.
That time is impressive though.
It doesn't REALLY matter as long as you are consistent, but the periods at the end of your bullet points make me want to throw up.
No one cares that you ran 3 miles, regardless of time. Honestly, Ive seen people get more traction with Finished Marathon than 10k in 45 minutes or whatever. All the lay person cares about is distance.
You have graduated already, there shouldn't be so much emphasis on your education and university-related positions/extracurriculars.
Thanks guys, really appreciate it. What I'm going to do, is bundle the tech minor with education and move the fraternity/club and extra curricular below experience. This is probably huge. Also I'm going to add my minor GPA (which is 3.9).
I'm specifically looking to get into ops/scheduling/risk to become a physical commodity trader, consulting, and tech finance department. I didn't know much about finance until late JR year so I just gotta get some experience.
1 book a month? That's it? Better tone down the intellectual pursuits, big guy.
Lol, actually it's a bit more than that, but I'm trying to be blunt and honest. I think I'll just change it to "reading"
No periods after bullets
Fewer courses under Relevant Coursework, with the most job-relevant classes listed first
I would also bullet & indent Relevant Coursework and Dean's Honors under the degree; no need for an Honors sub header if you only have one
Professional Experience should be above College Extra Curricular
College Extra Curricular sounds awkward; use something like "Extracurricular Activities" or "Leadership Experience"
Bold out "Skills:" followed by "Interests:" under Skills & Interests. I would also use one word per skill as a list. Get rid of the 5k b/s. Your interests are uninteresting.
This resume is weak in both content and formatting. You should refer to the M&I formatting guide.
The PWM experience is poorly phrased. Look, if anybody stopped to think about it, they wouldn't expect you to have "modeled" anything impressive at a PWM shop. But frankly, doing an inflation-adjusted compound growth line graph is pretty objectively unimpressive. Think about saying "modeled investment IRR," or something -- the point is you should present the best dimension of the truth. Once you're in an interview, and they ask, you can talk about it in more detail and place it in context. In a resume.. your goal is to get into an interview.
