I wanted to add that the bookstore was created over the summer to raise capital of $4,000 to open up an equities account that I now trade from..paid off debts on credit cards..started the trading account with 1500 and now have 2000 over a 1month span.
Tulane eh? I want to do the same thing so I asked some people for suggestions through FreemanLink - network bro. They said to me that I should expand my trading class description - i.e. if it is Leblanc's class highlight that you trade for your grade.
From experience get some community service on your resume. In every interview I have had with companies outside of the region they asked me 2 things. Why did I decide to go to school in New Orleans (dont just say burbon st) and what did I do to help the community while I was there. Good luck.
Hope that helps.

You have good experiences but you are missing the story of each experience.. You want an action (raised 20k), a for what (kids in Africa) a result (kids can now eat a few grains more)
