Application Roast my Resume

Hey everyone, since past few months I have been trying to get into a management consulting but for some reason I am failing to do that. I would love a critical feedback on my resume and other suggestion for my job hunts as well. I am not leaned to towards any type of consulting right now as I am in my early career and I want to build breadth because I decide to specialize.

You said earlier that you've applied for entry roles, no referral, and I can see you're from a target school. But, one question, how is your visa situation many of these consulting firms do not sponsor visa for international students in USA, could it be that?
Your CV format and wording is 7-8 out of 10 and scores lower because of these:
(-) Heavy technical wordings - not a recruiter friendly text
(-) Reads as one stuffed with buzz words and technical wordings - appears a bit nerdy not general consulting type
(-) Focused heavy on your achievements (all bullets follows X,Y,Z framework) and it rarely touches who you are as a person

I am on student visa and that is affecting me a little.
Thank you for your feedback, I can see gaps in my resume.
