Compiling a Resume

Applying to College
1

<p>This is my first go-around at making a resume for college admissions. The problem is that I really don't know how to.</p>

<p>I have the general gist of what should be on the resume (extracurriculars, volunteering, etc.). It's the format I'm having trouble with. All the examples I find are for job applications, which I realize are similar to college resumes but they leave me confused about what exactly to include.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any examples of college admissions resumes that they could show me?</p>

<p>Your college resume should include your name and contact address at the top followed by the name of your high school and GPA in he next category under Education. Then you can list your HS high school extracurriculars with bullet points (no paragraphs) and awards you've won under experience/extracurriculars. You can also list community service stuff. A picture is not necessary unless the application states so.</p>
