<p>Most of the questions on here have been asking whether or not they should bring a resume, but my interviewer explicitly asked me to bring one...</p>
<p>I've had 3 interviews already, none of which requested an resume...so what exactly do i include in it?? I'm assuming the obvious list of extracurriculars, but how about academic awards?
like national merit/ national honors..? or does the rule for SAT/ACT scores apply to that too?</p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Extracurriculars, leadership, awards (academic and non-academic), SAT scores maybe (I know Harvard wants them), any other qualifications you think are appropriate</p>
<p>The best piece of advice that my dd’s college advisor told us when the freshman class and parents met with her on our first college meeting as freshman was to begin putting a resume together. She had a deadline for the girls and asked that it be handed in during freshman year and was updated each year. By the time she was visiting colleges and interviewing, she had a fully completed resume with nothing left out.
I am sure she gave us many other pieces of good advice but I work in a private college so had some knowledge of what needed to be done when my dd started looking at colleges in Junior Year (she is a senior this year).
Good luck.</p>
<p>I’m guessing this is for an interview with an alumni in your community. Include ECs, awards, honors, classes, hobbies, etc. The purpose is to allow the alum to ask some questions and engage in a conversation with someone they’ve never met before. “So, you were 2nd assistant to the VP of the Young Astronauts club. What did you do?” Or “I see you’ve taken 3 semesters of underwater basket weaving. What interests you about the area?”</p>
<p>The alum’s job is not to evaluate your scores or grades; the adcom’s can do that pretty well themselves. So no need to include them on your resume.</p>
