A couple of minor changes that I would make:

- Under "extensive computer training", list specific software that you know well, especially something that an employer would be interested in.
- Programming skills are highly valued by some firms. You might set Java and C++ as a separate bullet point.
- I would try to streamline the phrasing on the second bullet point under "Summary".

Aside from not having exams, I'd say that your resume looks fairly strong for a college student looking for an internship. If you can pass one or two of the exams with 10's, that would help tremendously.
