Mind glancing over my Resume? Junior @ Target University

3.75 isn't low at all, you're good to go. I go to a non top 10 target and was fine with a lower GPA as a liberal arts major.
One thing that I would do is add something about sports, your resume makes you look super nerdy. I see tennis as an interest so if you play on your schools club team you should add that.
I am super nerdy
I don't really do club sports (Tennis had a tryout for even Club, and since I was stuck in Shanghai where it costs $50 USD/hr to rent out a tennis court, I had no chance to play all summer and failed the tryouts) I work out and do outdoor stuff like fishing/camping but I didn't know if that was relevant for my Resume.
Thanks for your input!
Assuming you're asian, coming across as super nerdy by just a resume glance is a sure fire way to be dinged in my experience. Working out and fishing are definitely good additions. I might even recommend removing the logic games part for IBD applications but keep it for prop trading.
Also make sure you capitalize the extracurriculars section.
Are your "high school" academic stats relevant?
Many of the companies ask me to list my SAT scores in my resume so I just decided to throw that in there
Downplay the nerdiness, delete: Strategy/Game Theory games (Risk, Stratego, Chess, Pit, etc.), Logic/Analytical Puzzles Capitalize: Extracurricular activities Instead of listing roles and responsibilities in your past jobs, try to list your accomplishments in clear and measurable ways.
Keep your SAT's but take out your high school GPA, no one cares. You should make finalist a bullet point I think in my opinion, and then say how many people you beat out, but that is just personal preference. And your work experience is not so great especially for your commercial bank (also it is assisted not assisting). You need things like "researched clients such as..," "researched clients by..." "assisted research... discovered that...". Make it more specific and focus on more what you accomplished and less what your responsibilities were.
Coming from engineering, hearing a B- is ridiculously curved down is hysterical.
