Looks good, most important thing is getting your resume out there so good luck !
I think this is a solid resume.. interviewing this candidate, I would be looking to see that they are not just a professional student, since a lot of undergrad => MS people have good study skills and little else to offer. Look to play up your limited work experience.
Sort of just skimmed the resume, want to point out (in my opinion) a couple of style errors: - "Managing Directors and deals team" - sounds bizarre, I get that you are trying to call out the fact that you had contact with more than just the staffer and the analysts, but it sounds like you're reaching - "Improved business processes through reconstructing and integrating updated information into database comprising over 300 high net worth clients and prospects in Excel" - by the time you get to "in Excel", I've lost track of what was going on. I get that you made an excel database, but the thought is split in half and hard to follow.
Good luck
Thanks for the help, will definitely change those things around.
To your first point, do you mean that in interviews I have to really nail the "why me" by demonstrating 1) my personality and how good of a fit i'll be or 2) that I should demonstrate the skills I have outside of just academics (IMO I think I have bad study skills due to my low gpa haha)
