Admission Resume a good idea?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a 26 y.o. student that is trying to transfer to a 4-year university from a comm. college. One of the colleges I applied to, Loyola Chicago, gave me the option of submitting an admission resume. </p>

<p>I checked out samples online and they looked geared towards high school students, not someone whose life has been primarily school full-time, work as much as she can to support herself and try to get together with friends and family every once and a while to make life a little fun. Not a lot of time for ECs. Also, I have been our of high school for so long would I even put high school on it?</p>

<p>So my question is this: would it help or harm my application adding an admission resume? I could add maybe 2 ECs and the rest is work. I have a good academic record, but my transcripts already show that.</p>

<p>My $.02 worth: HELL YEAH! With the exception of Stanford, every school I know of has been gracious and open to getting an academic resume. I even have a (high school) student that has a THREE page resume (mine is 1 page!!!) and they’ve been gracious to get that. There may be a few more schools like Stanford that don’t like getting supplemental materials but I haven’t found them yet.</p>

<p>As for your ECs, you have hobbies right? AND, everyone of those jobs should be on there! Those are in someways better than ECs because you’re good enough at them that someone pays you to do them!</p>
