<p>I am attaching a resume/ activity list wit my common app under the additional information section, but I'm not quite sure what it should look like. Does anyone have suggestions o an example? i have a version completed I just dont know if it is formated well. Should I leave everything off of it that I already talked about in the activities section of the application, or not? Should I include brief descriptions of each activity?
Thank You!</p>
<p>ok. so colleges most likely will NOT look at your attached resume very in depth unless they want to look for more information about an activity or an award that you already mentioned. So, first things first, focus on entering your activities, honors, and/or work experience in the common app because that’s what colleges always look at in depth.</p>
<p>that being said, on your resume you may repeat stuff that you already put on your common app, but try to go into more detail. example: if you wrote varsity basketball on your common app but didn’t have space for anything else, on your resume you should definitely write things like “All Conference” or post your team’s record or whatever. Don’t write paragraph descriptions of activities/honors/courses - bullets will do.</p>
<p>Oh, and don’t write SAT scores, colleges don’t want to see that again on a resume. The way i formated my resume: 1. Academics (bullets for GPA, class rank, academic awards/honors, additional coursework). 2. Extracurricular (bullets for in school/out of school activities, work experience, community service, summer activities).</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
