<p>I have heard that admissions officers don't like it when people do an activity for 3 years and then suddenly stop...</p>

<p>However, I'm applying early, and some of my activities haven't started yet (i.e. All-Eastern Band acceptance letters come after november deadline)</p>

<p>My most important activities, which I have been doing for througout my high school career, are invitation/audition only, and start after January 1st, so I don't have a perfect 100% chance of getting in. But I've always gotten invitations/made auditions...</p>

<p>What should I do? My guidance counselor said I should put "awaiting acceptance" for e.c.'s like All-Eastern Band, but there really isn't a space for that either...</p>

<p>Your thoughts (especially AdmissionsDaniel's)?</p>

<p>**Also, am I allowed to send in a resume separetly although I'm applying online?</p>

2

<p>Listen to your counselor, he/she is providing you with excellent advice. Use the additional information section to record the information if necessary.</p>

<p>Yes, online applicants may send in separate resumes.</p>

3

<p>Is it appropriate to send in the resume in the additional information section or through mail?</p>

4

<p>Your choice -- you can mail a separate resume, add it to the additional information section, or not submit an addition. We have no preference.</p>

5

<p>So should I write that I'm sending in a resume on the online application or just leave the space blank?</p>

6

<p>It would be a good idea to mention in your online application that you will be mailing in additional information (or your resume).</p>
