Bump, need some comments quickly please
Bump
GPA is pretty low. The major / cumulative difference is marginal. Have you done anything in school ? Anything finance related? Not to sound like a dick, but a 3.1 cum, you were head of a frat and enjoy snowboarding and ping pong tells me you are a partier.
Your BB internship. Was that a PWM or something else. All your internships scream PWM or Corp Fi to me.
I have seen a lot of resumes on this site. This one would not be competitive in my opinion. Start calling alumni and networking pretty hard. If I were you I would do whatever I could to bump up your GPA and start getting involved in some more finance activities in school. Your resume doesn't scream being serious about finance.
Yeah I know my GPA is pretty embarrassing. In terms of doing things in school related to finance, I can't even join any of the finance clubs at my school due to the fact I'm not in the business school. I blame taking a hard major + working during school combined with lack of maturity, but right now there's not much I can do about it except do well my senior year and network a lot. I'm already in the process of doing that, had a few chances last semester for IB internships but couldn't capitalize on the interviews. Hopefully this year I'll be better prepared and be able to land something.
The BB internship is MO, and yeah rest of my internships were basically corp finance / PWM, nothing in terms of IB modeling/valuation. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised that my resume doesn't show I'm interested in finance, I mean obviously I don't have an IB internship but I thought it still showed my interest in finance due to previous internships all in corp finance / PWM / VC. I fail to see what other internships I could have done apart from PE/HF/IB to show interest in finance (which I obviously tried to get last semester but didn't). I guess I could take off the frat stuff (not even active anymore) if that's hurting me but I thought showing leadership would be good. Don't know how ping pong says partier, I only included it cause I use to play competitive ping pong (won Michigan Closed 18 and Under tournament singles and doubles back in high school...)
I'm not really asking whether it's competitive or not, I know that I'm definitely fighting an uphill battle and it'll come down to how well I network. I'm not even wasting my time applying to BBs and am focusing my search on MM's/boutiques. I didn't post it to be told things I already know (ie. your GPA is low). I'm considering putting some of my relevant coursework on it (some math classes / econ / finance classes) but I mainly posted it to see if my resume was well written / put together.
Does anyone have any comments along the lines of reworking my resume (ie. you have weak bullets, bad formatting, need to include ____, change ___, etc.)?
GPA is awful, how did you ever got a BB and VC internship with a GPA like that. You must have crazy connections
