<p>I know this has probably been asked and answered but my search has not provided me with it. In the final space in the supplement where it asks for additonal optional material in the form of an uploaded document, is it kosher to attach a resume there if it speaks to activities etc that were not mentioned in the rest of the application? </p>

<p>In other words is a list OK and if so would it be better to only list the things that are NOT already in the app (instead of the full resume) with a short explanation that these are important things in your life but there was not room in the rest of the app. and then just list the dates/awards/jobs etc</p>

<p>Or is it more appropriate to write yet again another essay describing these things?</p>

<p>I don't think you're supposed to write another essay for the additional info (for any school). You could probably put a list of things either in the text box it gives, or, if it's easier, in an uploaded document. The additional info shouldn't really be a resume, just important info that there wasn't space for, or something that does apply to most people but deserves consideration.</p>
