<p>-Quantitative Trading & Research:
Started a firm which uses research conducted to build currency trading models. These models are then used to manage client accounts by speculating in the currency markets (Typically pairs involving the G-7 countries with weighting on the US dollar). I have been involved in the markets trading my personal accounts since I was 12. In equities, and now in FX. </p>
<p>-Research:
Currently conducting research in Economics to send to several competitions in 2006. Focus is on US labor economics. I cant provide much details on it in a public forum.</p>
<p>-Music:
Indian classical vocal training since 11. Focus on Bengali folk music, bengali classics, and Sanskrit hymns.</p>
<p>Internships:</p>
<p>-Law Firm: Worked as a summer associate intern at a pro bone law firm in NYC. Worked in their immigrant protection unit where I conducted legal research for attorneys and prepared case files. This was during the summer of 2003-2004</p>
<p>-Hedge Fund: Currently interning as an assistant trader at a quantitative hedge fund here in NYC. Functions include taking classes and doing some misc. work that needs to be completed after hours. </p>
<p>Involved in school clubs (FIRST robotics-head of animations), and sports teams (Track). Just got involved in school government. Looking to start a finance club and a science olympiad team in the school both to be used to take part in different city wide and statewide contests.</p>
<p>As you can see nothing overly special about this resume. </p>
<p>"As you can see nothing overly special about this resume."</p>
<p>Nice attempt to look modest and normal. </p>
<p>Uh, since this is a chances thread, I will gently rub your ego and tell you that you're on the right track with those internships...especially since (I presume with the psat thing) you're a junior.</p>
<p>I think it looks good so far. Getting those school clubs started will look good for leadership and school involvement. The Quantitative Trading and Research looks very interesting.</p>
<p>Just wondering, where are you from? East coast, west coast, etc.</p>
<p>Ahh.. sorry, missed that lol.. Anyway, I like how your ECs are all focused in the economics/business-type field, but at the same time they vary from one another.</p>
<p>BTW should I even mention my performance at this mutual fund managing contest? Basically this company has around 50000-60000 different portfolios which are managed and are ranked every month on several intervals. I have been doing this for around a year now (well I did stop from february to may as can be seen by the performance). </p>
<p>the only well known school in nyc is stuyvesant and penn hates stuyvesant(i know first hand), so... you don't have a shot... jk try anyway, you never know.</p>
<p>Haha Stuy the only well known school?! Buddy we just hit 2 nobel prizes two years in a row (2004+2005) without any regards to the bunch won in the past. That alone garners recognition. Naturally now you know what school I am talking about.</p>
<p>BTW bxscience, tech and hunter are actually public. For prep you have collegiate, horace mann, dwight, trinity.</p>
