SandhurstTake off SAT unless it's required; it looks very mediocre compared to your solid GPA. If you are going to include it, required or otherwise, break out the Math score, if it is 730+.

**Education:

Not sure you need to mention the school from which you transferred. Check with someone on this.

**Professional Experience:

Experience line items should begin with a past tense verb. I.e., "Posted accounts receivable..." instead of "Posting..."

Think of more experience line items. Too brief.

**Leadership & Interests:

"Selected as youth leader..." piece seems long & wordy.

19 over on the Black course is not astounding. It is "Bethpage Black Course" (no hyphen). Also, I don't think anyone would care that it's the 6th hardest per Golf Digest -- especially all of the senior bankers who are members at expensive private clubs (Bethpage is public). If you feel compelled to note how special it is, try "US Open, 2002 & 2009"

I would say simply "endurance swimmer" vs "recreational endurance swimmer." It's truthful, and doesn't qualify your ability.
