<p>Cornell ILR on their website recommends you send a resume of your activities to the admissions office. However, I listed activities with explanations about them in the "additional information" section on the common app. Do I really need to send an extra resume?</p>
<p>People get in without it all the time from what Ive heard but I sent in one. On mine I have a ton of work experience, ebay biz with thousands in sale, part time job for several years, internship with afl-cio etc. etc. so I figured it would be worthwile to send in a professional resume. That and I already had one made up from the last time I used it to get my internship. I think your fine though.</p>

<p>I certainly don't think there is any harm in sending it. Your application is competing against many others who have included the resume. Why put yourself at a potential disadvantage by not submitting what they have asked for? As long as the majority of the application has been submitted, they seem to be pretty open to receiving small pieces of the application after the deadline (scores/teacher recs etc.). You might as well give it a shot. A resume certainly gives you a lot more opportunity to detail the significance of your leadership qualities and other qualities that interest ILR.</p>
<p>i would send one in if i were you
i applied during the ed round, and i sent one in.
i was a bit stressed out about having to write a resume at first, since i've never done that before. but i did end up writing up a resume for ilr. mine probably didn't look as professional as some others, but i think they just want to give you an opportunity to expand on your extracurriculars that demonstrate 'fit' for ilr.</p>
<p>Would this resume be mailed in by itself by snailmail?</p>
<p>I attached it as part of the common app but you could snail mail it.</p>
