<p>We all know that ideally, the resume is supposed to be one page. Mine spilled into two pages and no matter what (reasonable) formatting I do to it, I don't think it will get shorter.</p>
<p>I've already omitted a lot of stuff I could put under EC's. Help? Would anybody like to look at it and give me suggestions. You can see my entire list under the "what are my chances" thread. That's what I meant to put in the resume, but now less than half of that stuff is on there :(</p>
<p>Sure. PM it to me.</p>
<p>pm me /****************/</p>
<p>I can help, pm me.</p>
<p>keep omitting. you have to cut more of the fat.</p>
<p>and the colleges will tell if youve been formatting it like crazy so just leave more stuff out.</p>
<p>whittle it down. Do not include any repetitive information that can be placed on the application.</p>
<p>im keeping descriptions down to 2 bullets. should i include honor socities on the resume or on the common app space where they ask you what EC's you have?</p>
<p>Just MAKE SURE when it's all said and done it is not simply a laundry list of stuff you've done. They want to be able to picture you as a person from that resume -- what activities really turned you on, formed you, enabled you to grow and become a leader or master of a craft.</p>
<p>If that means cutting out the less important activities - fine. But do not cut out descriptions of what you actually did!</p>
