Hi everyone, I'd like some feedback on my resume. I'm looking to apply for SA positions at both BB and MM firms this summer in the Chicago area.
Resume Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?9p89i91xcllohq9
Some specific questions: 1) Should I include standardized test scores? I also recently took a beta version of the Bloomberg Assessment Test and did pretty well (96th percentile). Should I put that on? 2) Do I need to mention that I'm pretty good with excel? I feel like that Banks just expect that these days so do I need to specifically mention it? 3) Is it a good idea to mention the Park District work? I'm trying to show work ethic here. 4) Finally, should I include references directly in the resume?
Any and all general formatting / spelling / wording suggestions would be appreciated as well. What are my chances for each group realistically?
im guessing that listing excel probably has little to no upside, but tons of potential downside if they decide to test you and ask you random questions about it that you might not be able to answer
spelled champaign wrong under investment class
3.68 / 4.0 --> 3.68/4.00
"Fall 2010– Present" --> "Fall 2010 – Present" (insert space)
to keep it consistent you might want to change "fall" to whatever month the entries started in
IMO in bottom section capitalizing only first letter of each phrase looks off
Thanks for the comments. Anyone else?

-Upload to razume next time, people probably haven't commented because most of us don't want to go out of our way to download some random doc.
-Change "3.68/4.0" to "3.7 / 4.0"
-Put the total score possible in your ACT, many older professionals will not necessarily be familiar with the exam. "35 / 36"
-Consider doing the same for the Math SAT portion as well.
-Is "Finance/Accounting" a single major at UIUC? If it is a single major, change the slash to an ampersand (&). If not, list the two majors vertically as two separate degrees.
Thanks for the comments. Didn't upload on Razume before because it was screwing with my formatting, but I got it to work.

Changes based on my comments look good. I personally have all my degrees in italics, but that's an immaterial difference.
You are a junior and you passed CFA level 1..don't you have to be atleast senior to even take the exam?
