<p>Is it beneficial to attach a resume to the common app?</p>
<p>I don't have that many activities or ECs but I am pretty "involved" in the ECs that I do. Since the commonapp doesn't give that much room, would it be advisable to talk about the same activities I listed and go into further detail on a resume that I can attach?</p>
<p>Would it come off as annoying?</p>
<p>My D attached a resume in the common app under the other information section. I would keep the resume to a reasonable length (2 pages max). If you interview with any school, I’d bring a copy to the interview as well.</p>
<p>My son went into further detail about his major EC in one of his essays - the “optional” essay.</p>
<p>What do you mean by the optional essay?</p>
<p>Like the additional information section?</p>
<p>Yes, the additional information, sorry about the confusion. In that section, he wrote an essay about his major EC.</p>
<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>You should absolutely attach a resume. I was in a similar position as you. My activities were difficult to explain. However, I didn’t lay it out like a resume. I titled the page “Education Related Extracurricular Activities and Accomplishments” and then explained them there (education related bc I am an education major and all my ECs centered around that). I’m sure a resume would do the same job though.</p>
