Hi everyone,
The time has come and I am finally a senior, but the entire college application process has been hazy for me from the start. I’m really heavily involved in various relatively unconventional activities, and there are portions of them that I’m extremely proud of (ie. raising $25,000 for an event alone) but I know I won’t be able to fit these into the Common App activities section.
I have two questions:
- Can I submit resumes to colleges? If so, how? If not necessarily, how else would I be submitting it? And what would be included on this kind of resume?
1a. What would merit submitting a resume to a college?
1b. If I can only use the Common App activities section, how do I condense so much work into so little characters?
- Can anyone link me to any sort of college application / Common App overview where it goes over teacher recommendations, supplementary materials, financial aid, etc.? I'm really struggling to understand what I'm doing with my applications right now, unfortunately.
Thank you to everyone. I don’t really have the same kind of connections to friends/family/counselors who’d be able to help me here and I appreciate any kind of help.
