Resume advice for a non-target career trek

I'm preparing to go on a school trip where I will be touring and networking with alumni with finance jobs at a variety of firms ranging from fin-tech startups to BB to PE. My resume is due later this week and will be distributed to the firms we're visiting and I'm stressing out that I'm underselling my already weak credentials.

I'm open and accepting of any and all constructive feedback, so go ahead and rip it apart.

Is this some kind of troll?

You have a 3.72 GPA, you are in the honors college, you are a sophomore and you already had an internship, you are the fraternity philanthropy president... you're fine.

My only advice: get rid of your "High School Activities" section. Absolutely nobody cares about what you did in high school.

Have you ever thought of investing in real estate?
 

Appreciate the response. Not a troll at all, credentials are just super relative and I feel like mine are behind the other people going on the trip. The majority of them are on our university's investment fund team and have more technical majors in quantitative finance, math, etc. It's hard to know where you stand when there are people who did "better" than you getting shut down and people who did "worse" doing great. My thought process behind the high school activities section was to just to add conversation points/ look a little more well-rounded. I go back and forth on it but I felt like playing football in high school slightly changes some people's perception of me and I have a story behind it.
