I am wondering: since I am working with a highly experienced former Wall-Street employee, she tells me that it's fine if my resume runs longer than one page (right now, it barely fits two). It's like my old one, but in a more improved format, aside from the page length. Is this page length a death sentence for me as an undergraduate senior?
The format sort of got fudged due to the text boxes, which I used to list qualities with bullets side by side in two 3-point columns.
I was told to say not only what I did, but list it only if it was more unique than just part of my school curriculum, and the results of all projects.
From a Wall Street person's point of view, is there anything on this resume that'd turn you away that can be reworded, or you think should be removed? Anything that looks like a selling point?
I've attached it if anyone has any advice if I you think it can be improved. Thanks ahead of time.

- Led team in preparing a report on optimizing labor efficiency. Learned that even with fully functioning equipment, inefficiencies with employee labor can slow factory production down by 15%.
- Led team in preparing a research report on hydroelectricity—including real life examples, and cost-benefit analysis of implementation. Concluded that because of high fixed costs, hydroelectric programs should be government subsidized in the near future.
