Constructive criticism please! :) thanks guys!!

I agree that you need the M&I format. Is your major GPA better than overall? Since you're in a non-business/quant major this may be a concern. Try to shorten up the personal section with bullets so it reads easier. The Chinese fluency will be a big plus, but you will need to be comfortable conducting the interview and answering technicals in Chinese. If you change the format and get your story down, you'll have a shot at landing some interviews, but you'll need to network your ass off. If you can impress someone at the partner level, you'll get an interview. Then make sure you nail the case.

Also, it's late in the recruiting cycle. If you can't land a spot at a large firm, find a different job that will boost your resume and reapply in October.

 

I do not want to be stereotypical, but... York University and not Schulich.

'nough said.

The difference between successful people and others is largely a habit - a controlled habit of doing every task better, faster and more efficiently.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
