Need resume help - please critique my resume!

I'm a rising junior at NYU. I plan on recruiting for some finance positions this coming fall semester, but I worry that my GPA will not cut it. Regardless, I have to try my hardest and I really want some feedback on my resume. I took out the names of the companies I worked at, in addition to some other personal information. Let me know what you guys think. I'd appreciate it :)

I think listing leadership as a section when 4 out of the 5 positions are participant or member is a stretch. Also, why do you have one case competition under experience and another one under leadership? Seems pretty disorganized. Also, with respect to your first position, I'm pretty sure that if you really increased revenue for a company by $50 million dollars you'd probably be a partner right now, so you probably want to ease up on the hyperbole there.

 

M = thousands, MM = millions. It was 50,000 not 50 million. Sorry for the confusion. I also only had one case competition under my experience, I didn't have any others under my leadership. Thanks for the feedback!
