Left align everything - bullet points, section headers (why are they in the middle?). Center your address and phone number. Are you graduating December 2020? If not you won't qualify for IB internships next summer - if you are, make sure to indicate that.

Bottom skills section should have its own header and not be in grey. Also, just read what you wrote for skills: "Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Office." Standardize your "skills" and remove Office.

Don't list basketball and pickup basketball. Also don't say you're a 6ers fan, plenty of Philly haters. Probably not a big deal but remember recruiters are looking for a reason to ding you.

Thank you, really appreciate the insight. Plan is graduate in May 2020 from UG, intern for small unpaid IB firm in hometown until late July then do 1 year MSF program at Semi target (Vandy, BC, Villanova) then get FT from hopefully MM or EB after graduation in May 2021

FYI - uploading a word doc still shows your name as the author in the document's properties, effectively nullifying your efforts to make the contents anonymous. I'm not saying this to be a dick or a smart-ass, but genuinely wanted you to know that making the resume 'generic' doesn't actually do anything.

Here are a few formatting suggestions:

Right align the dates and locations - you do this by adding tab stops to the right side and right-aligning at that position
Use the 'Month Year' format for date ranges (except class year); at the very least use something consistent because you have different formats between experience and leadership dates
Consider bolding section headers
Consider adding a new section called 'Additional Information' or something for the last two lines
