Semi-Target Sophomore Resume, No Previous Experience

Please give me some advice and feedback for the resume. Mostly looking for PWM, Investment Management, Sales & Trading, VC, Consulting, HF, but at this point anything finance would be good.
Tried to upload it on razume, but somehow it didn't work out.

How come you've got a GPA of only 3.5 when you've competed in an international maths competition? Surely you'd have aced all four of your calculus and economics papers?

Something about your GPA and "international mathematics contest" doesn't add up to me....

Besides that, I can't really comment because I don't know shit about resumes.

Your Villanova Dining Services description is too long (too many bullets for a menial task). Can you add any volunteer gigs? No offense but you shouldn't write Work/Leadership if your only experience is in the dining room.... what leadership does that entail? Remove leadership.

I was never a fan of the Interests section.

You need to focus on getting any relevant work experience, even though you're 2014 grad. PWM isn't a tough internship to get but S&T/IB is out of the picture at the moment. Add to your Skills section too. There must be a trading desk at Villanova where you have access to a Bloomberg or Reuters. If you're so smart in math try to self-learn Matlab, Mathematica, Excel VBA (intro modeling), etc.
