1.) Highlighting your ACT score is irrelevant at this point in your career. Most industry fields/organization are primarily targeting your college GPA, leadership and internship/job experiences. The 3.5 GPA (Magna/Cum Laude distinction) should sell itself. 2.)Maintain consistency throughout - Stanford, CT and New York, NY to match format below with City X, NJ. 3.) Be professional and define your experience as an 'internship' rather than 'intern' 4.) Can you quantify or assess the value of your projects during your internship - numbers are attractive even if they are an estimate. 5.) Read through each of your experience bullets to ensure they address the situation, task, action, result (STAR). 6.) Minor note, but 103 children can probably be stated as 100 or +100... round counts and stats up/down 7.) Can you combine the country club experience or community activities since they seem similar? This will help you free up some additional space to maybe list a personal objective statement, profile skills summary, highlight key accomplishments, etc. 8.) The heading "College Community Activities" appears weak or incomplete with only a single item beneath - either list additional extra-curriculars or drop the section since similar insight/experience is shared in the previous 'Country Club' listing... this will also free up more space for the suggestions noted above. 9.) Skills and Interests need to be expanded otherwise I'm not sure they are serving much purpose - although the foreign language skill is extremely valuable/relevant... consider building this section out by targeting specific roles or industries where such skills or personality traits are relevant and will be more appreciated. 10.) Just to address the previous point again, since you are highlighting you're potential/expertise in the field of economics, I would suggest creating a personal summary/objective statement that gives the reader an idea of what you are looking to do - provides them with a sense of your goals/direction seeing as economics is a rather diverse field. You might also be able to compliment this section by mentioning areas of interest at the foot of your resume. This will likely maximize your potential to be hired, help with your search and provide you with a better assessment of your income potential.
