<p>How many of you are adding a short 1 page resume? How would you go about formatting it? I just want to make a short list of my most notable activities with very short descriptions, but have no idea on how to format it. </p>
<p>Thanks all</p>
<p>Mine was about 1.5...it went like so:</p>

Some things have been omitted for confidentiality reasons, and obviously, your formatting will vary slightly.</p>
<p>I didn't bother including one (was too lazy to format the one I had to make it look nice); I just wrote all the relevant information in the spaces on the commonapp. I don't think it helps that much as long as you have a solid strategy in your application.</p>
<p>Im including a 3 page one....in the form of a table, with activity, hours, days, description, etc.</p>
<p>3 pages is mad long...even my resume was kind of long...</p>
<p>hey sparticus, I just have a few questions about your resum</p>
<ol>
<li>yes i applied ED. I'm in the College of Arts and Sciences, Class of 2009.</li>
<li>Section Leader is based on a mix of musical knowledge, leadership skills, and seniority versus instrument proficiency in my school. Also, I'm more of a soloist than a screamer, so 2nd part is where one would expect me to play.</li>
<li> Yes, I went to the Civic Leadership thing in Baltimore session 1 and Dickinson College session 2 in my last year.</li>
<li> It's that crappy national fitness test they make you take in public schools, and at least some private schools. "National" just means you're in decent shape; "Presidential" means you're pretty damn fit. Either way, it's not prestegious at all.</li>
