Hoping to get some feedback on my resume with FT hiring season well under way. Semi - target private school, cumulative GPA is 3.6. Curious to see opinions on yes/no as to list my cumulative gpa with my finance gpa. Hoping to hop to the buyside as an equity analyst for an institutional MM shop, or long/short fund.

From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Put your cumulative GPA too. I didn't even realize that it said "Finance GPA" until I saw you refer to it in your post. You have to put both.
I would definitely list your cumulative GPA as well, otherwise they'll assume it's in the shitter (which it isn't).
Hoping to get some comments on the actual content....
"Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance" "Bachelor of Arts in Political Science"
Move Expected May 2012 up a line.
"President's List" not Presidents List
Your Summer Analyst and Global Wealth Management Intern bullets need to be in past tense.
4th Summer Analyst bullet - short and concise mean the same thing. Choose one. Don't think you need to including "using Bloomberg software". Comma after financials.
Your GWM bullets sound pretty vague/like you didn't do much to be honest.
Research Assistant - what kind of experience? Your summary sentence is weak.
1st bullet - use needs to be used 2nd bullet - Prospected? What is this, the 1849 Gold Rush? Find a new verb. 3rd bullet - unnecessary
Analyst - if it's present, why are your bullets in past tense? I don't think you need to include "and alumni" in your summary sentence. I'd expand on any specific long/short presentations you have made.
Skills/Activities
Have you pledged 100 hours or done 100 hours? Two completely different things. How was the B&G Club money raised? Can you expand on this or did you just volunteer at an event that raised $35,000?
Take Office out.
I don't think study abroad is an activity - it's more appropriate in your education section. Replace with interests.
