Any advice for my resume? Just finished up my freshman year at a semi-target (think USC/UCLA/UCB/Pomona) and about to start my sophomore year. Thanks in advance.

Way too much text!! couldn't even read the details because I was distracted by the verbose text and lack of spacing.

I see that you had great grades on standardized exams but the format of your resume is nauseating. And ppl will be suspicious of your role as a hedge fund "analyst" as a high school senior. Additionally, descriptions like these are too vague: "researched stocks using analyses of financial statements, technical indicators, financial ratios, and macroeconomic trends".. is it a L/S fund, macro, CTA... seems like everything combined which is impossible for a "small HF". And HF and PE internships at your age are difficult to come by so what's the catch?

Improve your skills section, especially considering your coursework. Don't mention MS skills (except macros/VBA for Excel/Access/etc.). I'm also not a fan of the interest section. i would remove it after junior year.

Your Leadership section is too long. You don't need 3 bullet points explaining your role in budgeting a dormitory floorplan.
