<p>The Harvard guy told me to bring a resume. I didn't bring one to any other interview though.</p>
<p>I ask my interviewees to send the resume in advance as I find it useful in figuring out what questions to ask. If I were an interviewee and the interviewer did not ask, I would bring one and also e-mail one with a note that says you are supplying it in case he/she finds it useful to have a resume in advance.</p>
<p>Agree with previous comments that it should be one page and no more.</p>
<p>I always bring a CV with me (in a nice leather folder--its unstylish to hold it in your hand :P ). Ask the interviewer if he/she wants the CV at the beginning of the interview; they'll usually say yes because it'll give him/her things to talk about.</p>
<p>Better safe than sorry</p>
<p>I only brought one if they asked me to. </p>
<p>Also remember: your resume should NOT be more than one page long...you're only in high school, and most tenured university professors only have a CV about 2-3 pages long. There's no reason why yours should be even close!</p>
<p>It´s hard to reconcile the 'one page' absolutists with those (take Northstarmom, a Harvard interviewer) who say a 2 page resume for college admission interviews is perfectly fine (but not OK for work resumes.) </p>
<p>I personally find it hard to limit my "resume" to one page because many of my awards and activities seem to need a one sentence explanation - and I have a lot of awards, not including local or even state. It's not really like a resume you'd use for work and maybe that's why Northstarmom and others differentiate it from an official 1-page resume.</p>
<p>I'm confused.</p>
<p>My rule is to ALWAYS bring two folders, each with a resume, a copy of your CommonApp, and a copy of your supplemental essays.</p>
<p>I generally ask them if they would like it, they accept, and they usually go through it. It's a great source of information for the interviewer. This works to your benefit, as the main focus of the interview becomes what YOU put on YOUR resume, rather than a bunch of random questions which might catch you off-guard. </p>
<p>I say bring two copies so, if necessary, you can make reference to something ("on page X") without reaching over the table. I always let the interviewer keep their copy of these papers. They tend to like this.</p>
