Please Review My Resume - Applying for jobs in AM

I could use some help with my resume, as I'll be applying to some jobs in Asset Management, research/analysis, and trading. I know I don't have the most relevant work experience, but I'm trying to put together a resume that'll maximizes my chances of landing some interviews.

I'm sure you don't need three lines for GPAs when you only have 2 bullet points for each job you've had? It looks rather... empty.

And I don't know what other people would say, but "I discovered your firm's website recently"?? Isn't that like saying - hey yo, you're a nameless little firm that I really don't know shit about, but here's my resume anyway.

I'm a student, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.

It's funny because I actually thought the same thing while I was writing it. (By the way, I got that line from the cover letter template at Mergers & Inquisitions.) But then I thought it might be okay, since discovering a firm and their website is not the same thing (everybody knows McDonald's, but a lot of people have probably never looked at their homepage). Now you got me wondering again though. Maybe I should change it to something more like "I was looking through your firm's website" or something along these lines?
