Could you all please take a look at my resume and give me some feedback. I'm applying for full-time opportunities now and could use the help.
I go to a good public school (Michigan, Virginia, Berkeley, or UCLA).

The main part of the resume I want reviewed is the Activities and Volunteer section.
Thanks!

I'm looking at consulting, f500 financial analyst positions, and investment banks. My gpa is low though, so I'm not holding too much hope for IBD and consulting.
Anybody have any advice?
just network....you should be set for f500 maybe some good boutiques (not elite or) or MM firms....you can forget about consulting unless its at a big 4 acct firm..even that is a stretch with your GPA.
You activities and volunteer section is way to in depth. Activities and interests should be two lines not 8. Activities and volunteer sections are meant to round candidates out a bit, not take up more space than any of your internships. A few suggestions:
Take out the working out with whatever basketball team as a freshman and that you were recruited by D3 schools before an injury. That isn't very impressive and it takes up 3 lines.
It's fine to mention that you played intramurals but nobody cares that you won the intramural championship as a captain. Most people have played intramurals and know that being a captain doesn't mean anything, you just passed around the signup list and made sure people showed up for the game.
Were you the social and recruitment cabinet member of your frat or your schools intramurals org?
Change the date format - the way you have it forces the reader to slow down & it looks unorganized.
5/21/2010 - 8/14/2010 --> Summer 2010
OR
May 2010 - August 2010
GPA is going to hurt you in FT recruiting so make sure you are doing your best to have the resume forwarded via contacts (cold-call alumni, parent's friends, etc.)
