Rising Senior with IB and PE experience for FT or MSF

As the title reads. I am a rising senior at a small liberal arts non target school. I don't have perfect grades but have been lucky enough to get in with a botique investment bank one Christmas break and a merchant bank (PE/IB) over the summer.

I would like to break into MM IB but am starting to feel like i don't have a chance going up against target school applicants with good grades. I am hedging failure in FT recruiting with the GMAT to do a one year program somewhere to rebrand.

Is it my resume that is hurting me? What can i do to make it more attractive

Upsell the athletic stuff as you are a 2 sport athlete... assuming both aren't club sports and are NCAA teams. Use that as part of your story with the low GPA.. Even then with a 3.2 and some decent networking and luck and you should be able to pull something

 

There are a couple small things I would like to change but overall I like it!

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

Font is huge in your second job. Not sure how I feel about the long/paragraph text for your transaction experience. Location on the last one isn't right aligned. The header seems unnecessarily small. Spacing on your Cumulative and Major GPAs are different. Student body pres 3rd bullet - *every.

That's as far as I got. Needs some cleaning up.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
