This is listed in a way to just take up space. I dont need to know every class that youve taken that could be relevant to the position your seeking. I would prefer if you utilized this space to speak on some of your other academic accomplishments. Study abroad?
You worked in China. Highlight this by providing a stronger description of what you did. What did your market analysis accomplish? Did the Venture firm utilize your research to invest? What kind of research? What was the end result?
More detailed needed. Your going into investment management/banking. You need to describe what you did with some quantitative numbers to let them know that you added value to whatever it was that you did. What did you forecast, who used it, and what did they do with it?
Expand upon these more. You can really stand out by providing a bit of detail as to what your leadership accomplished. What impact did you have on these organizations that only you could do?
I fully agree with Ruthless, you simply have too many courses listed.
You will need much more detail in your experience section. If you want to work in finance, quantify your experience, its key to show $ amounts and other numeric achievements.
Also, build your resume like an upside down pyramid, where you have more bullet points on top, fewer on bottom.
This section needs some work, take out the spacing and try to focus on whats important to recruiters.
What about your computer skills? Those are highly important in the financial world. Stat, econ, finance applications, list what you know.
I personally dont like an "interests" section, makes a resume look less professional.
Maybe consider putting experiences in chronological order.
Should cut down a little on the number of relevant classes.
Maybe you should try putting these experiences in chronological order to make it more comprehensive.
Cut down on the number of relevant courses.

You have great experience and a clear interest in finance. If you add more detail, you could turn a decent resume into a great one. I'm not too hot on the formatting, but that's not the primary issue I have with your resume. Best of luck in the career hunting process.
Rud, well done. You have a great resume, a strong GPA, I'm sure you'll find success in the banking world. You can make key changes that will significantly improve your resume. See my comments left.
Great resume! China experience looks fantastic on your resume as does your knowledge of Mandarin - big plus in today's investment world!
