<p>Is it corny to send a resume to colleges? My resume includes work experience, volunteer experience, extracurrlier activities, references, and honors. It is approximately three pages! I left out so many things from the application, and is there any better way to give all things I've done in my high school years? I don't want adcom to throw it out because it is too long or boring. any ideas? oh, by the way, I don't like the idea of Michelle Hermandize's Brag Sheet- looks too childish to me (that's me).</p>
<p>Maybe I should delete the sections "References" and "Education"?</p>
<p>mmm, get rid of references and i think that's appropriate. the worst they'll do is throw it out. in my expereince, smaller LACs actually like this.</p>
<p>so should i keep resume (and take some insignificant info out, shortening it)? will colleges be okay with resume?</p>
<p>IF you are sending a resume for college or work unless you have really extensive experience you should keep it down to one page. After that unless you have done something really substantial, it becomes filler.</p>
<p>1 page. They won't look at much more than that. Keep it to the most important details.</p>
<p>Okay, I have an idea: Delete education, my address, reference, honors, awards, unsignificant clubs...so just leave work experience, volunteer experience and activities- that's one page. what about title? should i include my name and social security?</p>
<p>i think delete social security and other personal info(like address and stuff)
also try to crunch the honors and things together without making it seem too stuffy.</p>
<p>Don't repeat the same stuff that you will put on the actual application</p>
<p>I gave my resume out to admissions counselors at my college interviews. That way they can take a look at it before hand and get to know your accomplishments, and it doesn't take up their time when they're reading through your application.</p>
<p>1 page only. You can't have done THAT much stuff of REAL significance, only being a highschool senior. Pick and choose wisely.</p>
<p>1 page only like others have said. you may think you have accomplished a lot thus far, and probably rightfully so, but in the bigger scope of things, a lot of the high school resume is irrelevant. this is the toughest part in writing your resume: eliminating as much as you can until you reach 1 page. seriously.</p>
