Senior non-target gearing up for recruiting -- have at it

Hey everyone,

Below is my resume that I plan on using for FT recruiting. One or two points I wanted to make (feel free to argue against these):

1) Have high school listed b/c I am a white male born in the US who grew up overseas in Asia for my entire childhood (10+ years). Figured that listing it will allow me to bring it up in conversation + differentiator given my non-target status.

2) Have also listed transfer school, simply because did well my first year there, so I thought it might be worth putting down.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

I would say remove the transfer school only because it was for your freshman year and most places will realize you didn't take anything tough.

I like your reason for keeping the highschool but it does look a bit funny just being a line, I would agree with removing it and finding a good way to include it in your cover letter / story.

This is also coming from another non-target rising senior so you may want to wait for additional input, good luck.
