Seek and Destroy this resume
Hi guys,
I'm a Junior gearing up for internship season. Attend a target school and am looking at management consulting and I-banking, and want to know what this resume looks like to the experienced eye, mainly because its very non-traditional as far as I can tell and I'm trying to figure out the best way to sell myself. If some of the stuff makes no sense without context or without the school or location, I don't have serious qualms about sharing that information if needed. Would really appreciate any help and just be brutal in the comments.
The name is usually much bigger, but it didn't fit on one page with the comments I made, so I reduced the size of the name. On my actual resume the name is font size 22.
Thanks!

Lol I sure hope I never work with you!

Just going to give my random thoughts, take it all with a grain of salt:
Make sure your SAT score stands out more; a score of 2340 is very very impressive.
Reword "tens of millions of dollars" to something more specific. What you have sounds awkward and somewhat pompous.
I would reread your bottom header to simply say "Additional Information". Sounds cleaner and is easier on the eyes.
You're obviously pretty smart, but try very hard to declutter your resume. It's very hard on the eyes and as great as the content on your resume may be, if it's not in an easy-to-read, quick-to-find style and format you're just hurting yourself.
Again, you need to highlight points on your resume that will say to the reader "Wow he really wants to be in banking/management consulting and he has experiences proving this". Seems you have more content focused on becoming a humanitarian worker or history professor. Just my $.02
Not entirely sure what buyorsell is talking about.
Anyway, how would you recommend changing some of the experiences to get through resume screens for these places, because I know my background is fairly non-traditional and very research focused. I was also wondering if I should drop the extracurricular section totally. I'm not sure how impressive the Senator part is and I could replace that with another internship, although the internship was a Congressional one, which I doubt adds anything to my resume.
Thanks
Rewrote one section and made some edits, I know the 35000 should be 35,000 but the uploading service here is being wonky.
