<p>I'm thinking about attaching a resume with my Common App (uploaded to the Additional Info section). However, I know Yale's instructions say to "follow the same format as the Common App." </p>
<p>Does this mean I must set it up in a table and have grades, time spent, school year/summer, participate in college, as well as the descriptions/awards/positions? Or rather can I just set it up in list format and forego, say, the hours per week, since this would already by listed on the Common App?</p>
<p>What's the point if you can just list this on the CommonApp? If I were an adcom I would just find an attached bragsheet restating everything I'd already read really annoying.</p>
<p>I apologize for not discovering this thread - thanks for your help wjb.</p>
<p>If I do use the additional info to elaborate on a few activities, I would assume in that case I do not need to duplicate the "grades, time spent, school year/summer, participate in college" details?</p>
<p>Right. You don't have to use precisely the same format the CA uses. Just make it easy to read and concise. I like the idea of grouping related activities together on the resume, putting the most important category at the top and listing particular activities/awards from most to least important within each category.</p>
<p>how do you send this extra sheet? is there a way to do this online or should you do it thru mail? how bout another letter of rec? can you send this online or do you have to send it thru mail???</p>
<p>You can include a resume in the Additional Information section of the Common App and submit it online.</p>
<p>Extra recs go through the mail. Give your supplemental recommendation writer a stamped envelope addressed to Admissions. Make sure he/she includes your full name and address and the name of your high school in the letter. You may want to ask him/her to include your Social Security number as well.</p>
