First, remove the theology coursework reference.
It is only there because 4 classes is very little to take for a semester. I will definitely take the "classes taken" once I get a GPA.
I know help editing a resume isn't the most fun, but anybody else?
a little skimpy...
If you really enjoy reading theology, put it in interests. Coursework that far up your resume should only include econ, math, finance, accounting, etc. -- things relevant to the job you are applying for. If you come up short, that's OK, but anything other than the aforementioned sounds like padding.
What do you guys do in your Finance Society? I am the VP at my school.....
I think you a lot of empty space. When you look at it from a high level it does not yield much experience. You must be able to think of other stuff you can throw down under experience.
.
One thing to point out is your formatting. As you can see, there is a discrepancy of space between the last two section headers when compared to the rest of the section headers. Fix that my man.
Thanks for the comment.
In terms of the content, is it okay? What does it lack? I just need to fill it up more?
EDIT: This is my newly reedited resume.

What part looks relatively weak? Perhaps it is my work experience? What type of work under Asset Management is considered "GREAT" experience?
You can compare and contrast to my older resume ( first post)
Spacing is still jacked up. You need to format the sections in a consistent manner. Way too much space before Skills / Activities Section. Also fix tense issue for Finance society. Why is this section past tense, when the asset management section is present?
Also make your dates and locations line up on the right hand side
Take out Theology...seriously.
And your spacing between the first and second section under work experience is fucked up
In high school I had a friend who insisted on opening his UPenn app essay with a quotation from Corinthians.
In high school I had a friend that did lines between classes and got the clap monthly....?
LOL kids from your HS must have had money. Mine just had God.
.
Okay, I managed to fix the spacing....
How would I list sites such as Breaking into Wall street training (BIW)
Would it be appropriate under the educational background?
Also its past tense under Finance society because I did it in the past. For my work experiences, I'm still doing it. My dates are correctly aligned. I can't move it right anymore....
Here is the updated resume:

It looks strange having past tense items under a activity you say is present. Can you quantify the info listed under the asset management section. Bankers like numbers.
I'll fix up the tenses, its probably easier on the eye......
I'll get some numbers on my company tomorrow to spice it up. Things such as AUM, %YOY on portfolio etc right?
See if you can also come up with a number that you had some (even minimal) influence or impact on. If you did some cold calling to prospective clients and got the firm some cash, something like that shows how you add value.
My company is not a huge company per say though. So I'm not sure if AUM or particular portfolio numbers are eye popping...How can I spin this around?
Another note...Is it okay to list breaking into Wall street training on my educational background as "Investment banking institute"
Here is the link for your convenience.

Will fix the past tenses in a bit, but I want to concentrate more on content. Is this okay for a first semester transfer (Junior)
Partly, but more focused on stuff you did. Overall, I would say the descriptions are too vague. I don't have a deep knowledge of AM but for example on the last bullet point can you you quantify "prevent tax burden on clients".
2nd bullet point - how exactly did you mitigate risk and can you quantify it?
Does this make sense?
Thanks! I know what you're saying....
On another note,
Did i list Breaking into Wall street appropriately under "Investment Banking institute"
