Your resume has nowhere near the amount of material to merit using size 8 font, or whatever that is.

Your student managed investment fund for example, first two bullets tell us nothing delete. Honestly that should all be pooled into 2 bullet points, because they are basically all fluff that tell us nothing.

Same goes for the wealth management intern. That is all fluff and a lot of it probably isn't even true. Again condense down.

I can only assume since you don't have your SAT on there that you go to a non target. You need to either take the GRE/GMAT, or worst comes to worst retake SAT. There is no way that you should have that much text on a resume, especially when 70% is fluff. Condense, condense, condense.

OK, after I condense it, what font size is normally standard for an SA resume? I have had over 30 people on Wall Street review my resume and they have not mentioned anything about that, but all advice helps.

Yes I go to a non-target, I am going to New York this week to visit all of the alumni from my school and friends I have talked to that work across Wall Street. I realize the disadvantage coming from a non-target, that is why I am working really hard to get my foot in the door and land interviews.

I do appreciate the feedback though, thank you.

One of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.

Echo 2x2matrix.

Problems, just from skim: 1) Font too small. make at least 10 point and margins at least 0.5 x 0.5 in all around 2) Would move frat to below your skills&interests section. 3) Rename philanthropy to community service.
