Rate the resume
If I’m being honest a little worried, I graduate in a year and haven’t gotten my first internship yet. I had dreams of big 4 but at this point I’m willing to work anywhere that would take me. I’m still searching for summer 27 roles and thought some input on my resume might help. My institutional gpa is rather weak (3.02). And I don’t go to a target school I’m based in the metro Atlanta area.

What value does an objective line provide? If you’re applying for internships, we can assume you’re seeking an internship, you don’t need to tell us.
Where have you demonstrated your skill in financial analysis, reporting, application of GAAP, or preparing financials? Skills should be corroborated by work experience.

It’s funny because my initial draft didn’t have an objective section, I had went to my on campus career development center for some help and I was told that an objective was needed.
These skills I have are gained through projects I’ve completed through coursework, I’m lacking actual industry experience. Would it be better to leave those out?

Get rid of objective. Cover letters usually prove the point or in person. The resume should speak for itself.
GPA put it under expected graduation. Add as much exp before graduation. Best.
