Congrats on the GPA, well done.

I think you can combine Econ and Business Administration onto one line maybe? May seem a little more smooth. As far as the scholarship goes, I don't know if you want to have a date for it. Seems a little unnecessary but I don't think it's a problem. Maybe keep Dean's List going to Present?

You spell out June 2013 in your education section but everywhere else you abbreviate the month. Pick one standard throughout. (Nitpicky I know but you wanted advice).

Comma in "1200 companies"?

change "over 500 companies" to "more than 500 companies"

Would take "the" out in "advised clients of the appropriate investments"

Change "Monte Carlo based" to "Monte Carlo-based"?

change "over $75,000" to "more than $75,000"

Second CR bullet point is a little weak. I think you can find a smoother way to word this. It's a great point that you should keep on the resume, but work on the wording a little bit here.

I'd maybe move #3 CR bullet to the top since it concerns current responsibilities.

Space exploration, economic development, and microfinance? I'd keep space exploration (sounds interesting, never know what the interviewer knows about space), but pick one of the two others to keep. Putting them both on there honestly makes you sound a little dry and like you're trying to create the perfect resume by putting down stuff to do with the economy/finance. I'd keep microfinance if you can actually speak coherently about it.

All this stuff is really nitpicky but not much I can hate on. You've done great in school, and your bullet points are clear and make it evident that you probably know what you're doing and you weren't just getting SBUX all day. Good job man.

If you're at a non-target, throw your SAT score on there if it's high enough. That's all I got.

MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance

OP, this person deserves a banana of the silver variety.

Thanks for all the advice. I was wondering about whether "June" needed to be abbreviated or not. My SAT score wasn't too good, so I won't be putting that on there (unless employers want to see it?) And I'll take your advice about the interests. I see what you mean about it being dry. I'll take out econ development and put another sport I like to play.
