I suggest removing the objective, save it for your cover letter, it doesnt add to your resume.
Keep your GPA to 2 decimal places. Only when requested should you pull it out to 3.
Overall, your format needs a lot of work. Be sure to look at top rated resumes on Razume for an idea of what works.
Consider combining these sections under "Leadership/Activities"
Stay consistent! Use bullet points for all sections.
Try to quantify your experience. In finance, its very important to use numbers and $ values to describe experience.
Also, you should consider removing your High School information, given you are far along in college.
A recruiter already knows what your objective is. Its to get a job.
You have a great academic background. I would look for ways to present this information in a more readable format. I had to dig to find yout GPA, what school you went to, etc.
Unless you went to one of the elite private schools, then high school information does not help make a case on why I should hire you. I would leave off.
Add more quantitative information. How much did your negotiations save on a particular project. Also, the formatting here makes me have to dig to find out where you worked, when, and what position you were in.
Seems like your just listing a bunch of stuff down here to take up room. I would look for a better way to utilize this real estate.
personal info
allign all of these to right, they look a bit sloppy now
Id remove these details, concentrating on GPA and test scores
Id remove this, to my knowledge its pretty redundant and unecessary for the field in which you are looking to apply.
I would put the location under the dates to the right, so that the place of employ looks more clean on the left.
Put all bullet points in past tense. try to keep them all to one line.
This and your skills section are quite strong.
Might consider expanding on this point if relevant.
Id clean up this language a bit, make into a single sentence.
Quantify your experience here a bit more.
Scores here? Scores on SAT/ACT
Perhaps just use your cumulative, since institute GPA is not higher
Quantify
You could put this into 4 lines maximum if you utilize the entire line space., and the same with High School.
Keep Verb tense the same.
More information on relevant coursework/projects would be fascinating.
Conversant is a better word to use than moderate knowledge.

Dan, good start with your resume. First of all, be sure to block your contact information when you repost your resume. You have some work to do to prepare your resume for the financial world. Hopefully my comments help. Keep us posted on your job search and best of luck.
Also, remove high school information at this stage
Your format makes it a bit difficult to read. Recruiters often glance at resumes, and making it difficult to extract the information puts you at a disadvantage. You have nice content but you need to adopt a format that will make it easier to read. I suggest looking at a couple of top resumes here and mimicking their format
Very strong content, but format and language are a bit sloppy though. Once this is cleaned up you will no doubt be a very strong candidate.

I'm not sure what the salary range in Atlanta is, but it might be high. (Hopefully I'm wrong!)
