<p>What do you like to call it?</p>
<p>CURRICULUM VITAE vs. Resume</p>
<p>I like to use the former because </p>
<li>it sounds good</li>
<li>it can be longer than a resume</li>
<li>it’s more broad</li>
</ol>
<p>Most of the civilized world shortens it to CV...</p>
<p>CV includes more personal details (interests, activities - stuff not work or school related). For ex. you would never include that you played soccer on a resume for a job application, but you could if instead of a resume, tou included a CV.</p>
<p>can we use CV for college applications?</p>
<p>I dont see why not - just make sure its not too long... Instead I submitted an activity list - I thought it would suit my accomplishements better. But you can do whatever you want.</p>
