Reddit mentions of Knock 'em Dead Cover Letters: Cover Letters and Strategies to Get the Job You Want

Yeah, no worries. Like most people will mention any time someone is reading a resume or cover letter they want to be able to quickly glance through it and get the useful information. People aren't going to read something that hits like a wall of text. I've sent out hundreds of cover letters like this and people don't read them.
 

Seeing as you've done projects in school I would lead on that as something that qualifies you as a potential candidate. I would lower your cover letter to three paragraphs. A brief introduction, what qualifies you as a candidate, and the last paragraph with a call to action. I strongly recommend:

  There are plenty of sample cover letters for different jobs that you can work with. I like the content that you have in your cover letter, but I would orient towards and accomplishment/qualification oriented resume. I'll show you how I ordered mine so you get a basic idea. Good Luck!
