I've decided to put a summary/highlight section at the beginning of my resume. However, I feel that most of the points I want to put in this section are already mentioned in a different section of my resume. Do you think this is acceptable or redundant and should be avoided?

Hi. To answer your immediate question, it makes sense to have the summary/highlights to contain similar/duplicative information as in the rest of the resume since it highlights information you will be bringing up further down. It would be odd to mention something in the highlights and then not mention it down. I think it would be helpful if it you were not just copying and pasting and your highlights section would be more concise.
At the same time, i would keep the section on the shorter side to be truly highlights.

Hi ZBarnett22,
I agree that it would be helpful and must contain a reference to something below, if you do include it.
However, I do not think that this approach is typical. I say this because most MBA resumes are trying to figure out how to succinctly present the information and keep to one-page (typical requirement).
My opinion - if you have the extra room, then include it; but don't reduce the 'white space' too much. And don't sacrifice adding more relevant information to all the sections below, just to get a highlight section though.
