Starting MsF, new to Finance. No mercy!
I might be the stupidest person here, because I jumped ship on a top 10 med school to pursue my interests in finance.
Because of that, I have very limited internship experience and I already know that's my Achilles heel.
I'm entering a MsF program in a couple weeks and was wanting to try my hand at a local IB firm throughout the academic year. I'm trying to figure if I like IB or trading better as of now, and any advice on that would be more than welcome.
UPDATE 08/05/10 I've taken all your suggestions and edited my resume. Please let me know your thoughts now. Thanks.

As I said, no mercy. I'm new to this stuff, and I can take blows if it's going to help me get to where I want to go.
Thanks guys!
So your going to WUSTL lol.
Beef up your 1st bullet. I think you can elaborate more on that experience.
I like the entrepreneurship thing, maybe build on it a little. Shows good initiative.
I would probably minimize the Chinese school to a bullet or less
Not a fan of the doubt borders separating things.
Activities needs to be cleaned up. Maybe have 3 categories, that main bullet is huge.
PM me when you get a chance.
too easy to tell? Thanks! keep them coming
Yes! Another asian who makes the jump from med school to finance, lol.
I have a bunch of friends who drop premed/prelaw for the ib track and I think that's awesome. Good luck!
Your resume is strong but I would trim down on some of your experiences near the bottom. Beef up that SA position experience and you'll be in decent shape. WUSTL is a semi-target so you have a good shot assuming you network a lot and get your story together. The why med >>> finance question is going to come up, so be prepared to answer that.
Damn man, not another would be Doctor...
if you were accepted into a top 10 med school then why not put your MCAT score on resume?...not relevant to finance but much more impressive than listing your SAT/ACT... i don't get why you majored in biochem and finance but you have a business GPA listed..get rid of your /4.0 of your GPA section (we don't need reminders that american school systems are on a 4.0 scale)...also what is the ,PA after St. Louis, MO? (2 states?)
Thanks guys, your input is really helpful. Should I include my MCAT? I just did a GPA for the courses I needed for the finance degree, which I think would be more informative in the interviewer's eyes (Cumulative GPA is about the same). I am actually not sure where that PA came from... Taking it out, I'll let you know if I remember why I put that there.
