Is there a difference? Some colleges ask for activities while others specify resume. Help. First generationer for 4 year college here. Yikes
From what my teacher tells me, they are almost the same thing. Resumes usually more straightforward with short bullet points and parallel formatting. An activities sheet is something similar, but it focuses on listing different activities. IMO I would just use a resume for both, but that’s because I don’t have a long list of different activities. There really isn’t that much of a difference. If a college has an activity/extracurricular section, then fill that out. DO NOT just attach a resume and leave the activity section blank. It’s a pet peeve of a lot of admission counselors.
You can google resumes for college online. In general, a resume is more inclusive and will include things like an academic section, awards, work expreince etc. as well as activities
