Rising senior IBD FT

http://www.razume.com/documents/16432

Ideally would want to return to my SA firm (great culture, lots of deals) but their conversion rate has been historically low and result won't be out till late September....just in case I need to get into the brutal fall recruiting...

I know my GPA is below the 3.5 cutoff (really fucked up last semester due to personal reasons...)so there is nothing I can do about it except bust my ass off for last year...

Should I cut any bullet points or increase font size? I already did my best to fit in relevant experience (all business related) into one page

Any feedback is welcome, thanks!

Looks like a solid resume. I would move (or not include) your GPA for those other colleges on the left side of the page. The right side is only for dates and locations. To have a critical piece of information there looks weird also from a formatting perspective, you do not have any non-date related info on the right side for the rest of the resume.

If you need space, you can take out that HR consulting internship, and either make font size bigger or add another bullet point to that tier 2 BB.

I would definitely keep the Interests section--to show that you are not a robot...I could also go into the huge risk vs rewards ratio that that single line has if you end up getting interviewed by someone who has a similar interest. You can.

You can also remove that Master Card Marketing Challenge. I would also suggest combining that achievements section with another section (like Activities and Achievements) to free up a line or two...again can be used to make font bigger or just add space.

I also feel like you can remove that Latin American Study abroad because it does not do a lot for the resume and takes up two lines. You can talk about it if you want during your (Tell me about yourself question). I would also add "international travel" to your interests section.
