<p>So I got contacted for an interview and the interviewer asked me to send her a copy of my CV. What would I put on a CV for a college interview? Thanks.</p>

2

<p>just make a resume.</p>

<p>I know, but I mean, what do I put? Test scores, hobbies, what?</p>

<p>Make a resume similar to the format on the commonapp but expand it. Put your hobbies, extracurriculars etc. with a description of each activity and what leadership position(s), if any, you held in each. Also put down when you participated any how much time you spent on each (hrs./week). You might also want to put down your awards. DO NOT put your academic info like GPA, rank, test scores etc. Interviewers are not supposed to know that information and I believe they are told not to ask about it. Interviews are an assessment of your personality and interests.</p>

<p>hahah I've had such silly experiences with interviews.</p>

<p>ie. whenever I question why I haven't had an interview, an email shows up in my inbox from my interviewer saying when we should meet.</p>

<p>Kd5qdf, my H interviewer asked me all of that information and wrote in down on the H interview form</p>

<p>Here is what my S put on his resume:
name, address ,phone number, date of birth;
school attending.
AP courses, college courses (if applicable).
He did put down his SAT scores and AP scores
Awards (both school based and non-school based).
Extra-curricular activities (with hours) grouped together by types (eg. community service, academic ECs and competitions, sports; artistic activities, etc...).
Hobbies.</p>

<p>Try to keep everything on one page. Use 11-font if necessary.</p>

<p>uhhhh remember when my resume is 4 pages long.... with 10 point font. :(</p>

<p>If you have a resume past 1 page as a HS student you clearly are missing the general idea of what a resume is (and yes, it's a resume, not a CV/curriculum vitae unless you've been published multiple times and/or are applying to a foreign college). Cut it DOWN!!</p>

<p>in my region they sent us a sort of pre-info sheet and it asked for: test scores, GPA, rank, EC's, hobbies, awards, favorite books, and what we thought our most important achievement was in the past year</p>

<p>mmmm yeah i'm really not going to worry too much about it.
sucksss</p>
