Murders and Executions Resume Review

Hey guys, I was just returning some video tapes when I realized I needed resume advice. I am a sophomore at a good non-target university. I am trying for some internships this summer and I would appreciate if you fellow monkeys could help out a baby Capuchin. It's a stretch but I am trying to apply to all the big names including JP Morgan, UBS, Citi, ect. If you notice anything I should change let me know, as it stands this is what I would be sending out.

Thank you MJK for your incredibly helpful response. I made the changes and uploaded it below the first. If anyone else has a minute to take a look at my new revised resume I would appreciate it!

Some thoughts below (some of it is stupid, but if I noticed it so will others):

-Too much white space at the bottom--anything else you can include? -Take off SAT since it's not super competitive -GPA at new school? If it's above a 3.0 I would include it. Not including it just leads to more questions -Why is there a comma after sales associate? (I recognize it might be something redacted but if not delete it) -Dash between 2014 and 2014 under your first Uber Non-target is shorter than other dashes throughout resume -I would separate relevant coursework with commas rather than slashes -Two lines after education section and only one after work & leadership section -Is there any other society or volunteering or previous experience you might have had? -Comma after Foreign Exchange Rates under interests -Under computer skills, you don't have spaces after the "/" and you do under relevant coursework -What is financial statements interpretation?

On overall process: -If your shooting for IB long-term, I'd blanket all boutiques, MM, and BB -Networking is going to be super crucial here
