SB for best comments on resume

First, take your name and contact off and repost. I will give you some comments after you take that out.

Did the university accept some of transfer credits? Or were you involved in program that allowed you to take courses that counted toward both college and high school simultaneously?

You aren't expected to have much experience as a high schooler so I would just see how the interview plays out. Even if you are just working in a limited capacity a few hours per week this would be an excellent opportunity prior to looking for more substantive positions the following summer.

As far as I'm concerned, the content is simply outstanding for a high school student. You're the type of guy that girl was complaining about in the wall street journal the other day.

The formatting needs work. You have different font sizes all over the place which is really distracting as well as different levels of indentation.

I don't think it will work exactly, but just use the formatting even if you have to put awards where they have work experience, for instance.

All of the courses from "Local University" and "Community College" were courses that I took during high school. Some will transfer when I enter college in the fall, and some will not. That is why I didn't include my GPA from those 20 or so classes.

swap the hs and college sections take off multive variable calc unless you thinking calculating the surface area of a sphere via triple integrals is useful same with discrete and linear algebra and diffrential equations

I'm also willing to bet if I asked you a question on any of those subjects you would have forgotten them

that prof cert is really small text

i would get rid of the country rankings as it comes off a dbagy would get rid of the detail act bs

if you get interviews i have feeling they will be more fit based then anything

and you don't have any real work experience on there

Surely there must be a more reader friendly way of presenting your awards and ECs

@StJamesPark

If you have any suggestions I would be glad to take them into account.

Did you have a childhood?

holy flipping nerd!

i've heard if you don't use it, you lose it.

PS I envy you

This is one of the most impressive high school resumes I've ever seen. One quick question - how do you have a GPA at Wharton/CAS already?

@ 7xEBITDA

Summer Classes

@blastoise

I realize that but I haven't learned PDEs yet and I don't know enough about probability to learn the martingale approach to valuation in quantitative finance.

I'm going to just frame this resume and smack it dab on my wall. Give myself an esteem punch in the stomach every morning.

Wait, is that 11 on your writing ACT a typo?

@packmate

The writing ACT sub-score is out of 12.

Should I remove any of my awards or activities since not all of them pertain to finance?

Less awards.. more information on the work experience. Either way you're definitely starting on the right foot.

You've already declared your concentrations? As an incoming freshman? Listing those as well as a GPA when you haven't even started attending school full-time seems a little off-putting. Your high school experiences, as well as the fact that you got into LSM, should be enough. I wouldn't include a GPA from taking a few summer classes or transfer credits. You're a high school student, and an impressive one at that. Market yourself as what you are, not what you will be in a year.

Someone explain how he got a 5.51GPA, took 20 AP courses (5 a year?!) and also someone explain how he got into Wharton classes + LSM as a highschool student? I'd like to know.

Wharton School: Concentrations: Finance, Statistics (Class of 2017) o College of Arts & Sciences: Major: Molecular Biology Minor: Mathematics, Computer Science o Cumulative GPA: 4.0 Wharton / 4.0 CAS

Honestly OP, I'm not very impressed.

This is guy is the Suzy Lee Weiss story come full circle. Obviously a smart and articulate kid, just like Ms Weiss. Difference is this guy is just way ahead of everyone else in terms of college and career understanding and savvy, and it will pay off in spades in the next 4-5 years. The kids I knew in high school that had the whole 'path' figured out are now way ahead (Ivy League, top grad schools, Wall Street, Valley, Fortune 50, etc) of the other naturally smart kids that spent high school dicking around. High school and college are not hard if you're in the right headspace and see them as a stepping stone or launch pad to doing awesome things early in your career.

@OP - These critiques won't help you at all since no firm will give a shit what your resume looks like when it's this strong at your age. That being said, remove or reduce the wordy explanation of your PRM cert - on the fence regarding listing relevant coursework. Re my earlier comment about Awards and ECs, no analyst wants to open your resume and see those daunting blocks of text. It's pretty apparent you're smart so distill the awards down to the most recent and impressive ones. Re ECs, you're trying to humanize yourself by indicating your passions as well as demonstrate leadership qualities. I would recommend leaving only the ones you're most passionate and can talk most about, or are eye-catching / sexy - to me the tennis, volunteering and finance clubs sound most interesting, would not even think to ask you about the science and math ones. Adding interesting blurbs to your selected involvements would be much better conversation fodder than straight listing all your clubs.

Not that you need it, but best of luck.
