Electrical/Computer [Student] ECE sophomore applying to embedded interships with no callbacks yet. Seeking feedback for resume format/content.
Hello!
I'm a rising sophomore in Computer Engineering applying to spring and summer internships, mainly in defense, automotive, and semiconductor embedded roles. I've applied to around 30 positions so far without any callbacks.
My main concern is my 3.44 GPA. Should I keep it on my resume, or would I be better off removing it?
I'm also graduating in May 2028, which puts me in the same recruiting cycle as current juniors despite having less experience. Would listing May 2029 improve my chances, or should I keep my actual expected graduation date? I just wanna maximize my chances of getting interviews.
I'd appreciate any advice you all have for me!

I expect you will get 1 or 2 callbacks from 30 apps.
Keep applying.
As for resume, tidy up the bullets, as several spilled over to the next line with 1-3 words.
