Consider only listing courses that will help you look more impressive than other candidates. Most b-school classes are standard, so consider removing this section and focusing on honors here or other unique GW related items if possible.
Nice work with your bullets, shows progress with more on top fewer going down. Consider quantifying your language more. Take a look at my resume for an example.
Consider adding your Rome study below GW in your education section.
You could be a little more descriptive of the skills you used and your accomplishments. Try to make better use of your space - it isnt visually appealing to see words hanging off on their own line. Make use of the space to incorporate accomplishments. How did you add value? Think, "resulting in..."For example, at Starbucks - you do list some accomplishment oriented details, but try to be specific. Employers like numbers! Expanded business by what? Amount raised for fund raising efforts?
Avoid assist and responsible for. They arent really active or exciting ways to describe you!
Try and fit these onto one line. It looks a bit like a waste of space.
Put Study Abroad experience along with education. Companies tend to appreciate the added international dimension.

Nice work on your resume. Your prior summer internship makes a major difference for your candidacy for the fall. L'Oreal position gives you a great opportunity going forward. Best of luck with your summer plans, make the most out of it by gaining technical skills in finance/accounting if possible. Think strategically about what you'd want to do in the fall. What type of skills can you gain this summer that will help you achieve your goals? Nice work and be sure to share your knowledge with others at GW and on Razume.
Great start! I'd do a bit of work to help the reader envision you working for them.
Good luck!

Strong language and appealing format. Having had an internship experience in Accounting at L'Oreal, as long as you secure a solid internship this summer you should be set! Good luck with everything.
