From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
1) make the decimal points consistent in your GPAs 2) remove 'related courses' from your relevant coursework section 3) I would remove the high school line, but that's just personal preference 4) you have an extra space between 'and ratio' in the PR company section 5) for the TA position section - did you advise the business plans or advise the students? May want to rewrite the description line.
Hope this helps!
Thanks so much al865149 for your help. After reviewing my resume what would you say my chances are for those aforementioned firms?
Good resume...did not read it in detail though I just second what al856 said. Also noticed you did not have a lot of modeling exposure at your SA...might want to read up on it and BS a sentence or two (i did). just make sure you back it up.
just my 2 cents...
You should be able to get interviews. have a good story behind your mediocre GPA. I would start networking right now if you want a spot at one of the firms you mentioned. As far as mid-tier MM firms go I think you would have a decent shot.
Thanks oldmansacks for the pointers -- I'm working on Wall Street Prep and should have that completed by the time FT recruiting rolls around. Didn't feel comfortable putting that in the resume in case I'm blitzed on it during an interview though.

Consistent decimal points for gpa - come on dude, your applying for an analyst position I don't like the first bullet point under your SA I would list bullets of all responsibilities and then list transaction experience - you an go into transactions in more detail in the interview Under PR Company you have inconsistent spacing before/after the fwd slash Global comment: at my bank and whenever I have participated in drafting etc, we do not use a comma in a list after "and" Entrepeneurship class the date are backwards and bullet reads weird
okay fixed all of the above comments -- thank you all so much!
Just wondering what you all thought my chances would be for places like HLHZ, PWP, Jefferies, Stifel Nicolaus, etc.
