Undergrad Stats and Actsci student trying to break it into IB(Resume critique)

I am a current undergrad student in my 3rd of a math degree. My resume right now is catered towards data science and actsci roles but after more research and talking to a few people I want to pivot to the banking world. How would I go about getting my foot in the door as recruiters on LinkedIn barely respond? I want to structure my resume more for Investment banking any advice on what to change and how do get started is greatly appreciated!

Change resume template first. Follow a general black and white single column template.

P.S. I am from same degree and similar program as you are and was able to break into high finance for coops. Feel free to pm
