How to improve my CV ?

I applied to a few tier 1 and tier 2 consulting firms, but I was rejected by all of them. I want to know how to improve my CV so that I can pass the CV screening. I would be very grateful for any feedback you could have.

Some information about my background: I just graduated from a top university in Singapore, and now I am studying for a master's degree at Oxford University. I did two internships in some small consulting firms (but my work focused on data analysis). 

I removed some personal information on my CV here, but if you would like to have a look at the original cv, I'm more than happy to provide it.

I think it's a very strong and well-crafted CV already. The one recommendation I have is to make some of the text a bit more concise. I would generally try to limit yourself to 3 bullet points and only use 2-line bullets every once in a while. Otherwise, the page can look like a "word wall" that people will not read through the details. Maximize the share of numbers and short, punchy statements within your text.

Hey there, send me your full CV please via personal message and I will review it for you. 

Broadly speaking, given the situation with COVID-19 and very competitive market, networking and getting in via referrals will work much better for you. But first lets get that CV sharp and ready.
