UK Semi-target Resume review
Hi guys,
I am about to go into second year at my uni in the UK, getting ready for SA applications (London).
In addittion to the corporate finance internship I am currently doing, I have another lined up at a small Polish Asset Management firm in late August.
Will be applying for an IBD role, most likely M&A.
Thanks in advance

Where's the CV?
EDUCATION: - change "Expected Graduation Date: May 2015" to 2015 - get rid of school stuff and change first uni bullet with results no one will read but leave your GPA, you being 1st, add IB total resuls (no "A-levels equivalent"), omit specific results (chances are, no one will read or understand what 7 is out of), leave SAT and get rid os relevant coursework. Once again, only uni with bullet for uni resulst (GPA), another bullet for pre-uni examinations (IB, SAT) and omit specific results (they do not tell much, and your micro seems to be poor)
something like this:
University of Bristol Bachelor of Science in Economics & Management - GPA: 72/100; 1st in the class (or is it 1:1?) - IB: 42/45; SAT Reasoning: 2150/2400, SAT Subject Tests: 760/800 In Mathematics Level 1, 680/800 in Physics
SKILLS, ACTIVITIES & INTERESTS: - get rid of references - get rid of ",;" after Polish - maybe include less activities and interests but elaborate on some of them (championships) - get rid of video games - detach or make "volunteer work" bold font
WORK & LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE: - change "January 2012 - June2012" to "January 2012 – June 2012" - change "WORK& LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE" to "WORK & LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE" - you will be able to get rid of "Wasabi Club" with AM firm, it is not impressive
Let me know if that helps
Don't write all your coursework in bold.
Elaborate more on your work experiences. I am not sure if you want to have the Wasabi Club on your CV since you didn't hold a leadership position. If you really want to keep the Wasabi Club on your CV, limit it to 2 lines (3 max)
Purely out of interest, why did you go to Bristol with such high IB marks?
did badly at my Oxford interview, LSE & UCL saw I have Standard Level Maths and they wanted Higher Level only. Applied to LSE & Oxford again this year but they both gave me unsuccessfulls, even though I chose subjects that do not have compulsory HL Maths (pure Management and Accounting & Finance at LSE)
