<p>I'm debating whether or not to send my resume. Did anyone send theirs and did you get in?</p>
<p>I sent in a resume and a CD of me playing classical guitar. I got in.</p>
<p>I sent a resume and got in. In fact, my school requires we send a resume with our college apps. It's certainly not a hindrance. Just be sure to ALSO fill out the section ND provides on the app.</p>
<p>I did as well and got in.</p>
<p>Pinke, this goes to show you there are a lot of ways to apply at ND! I'm surprised myself at how many sent resumes. If I may ask those of you who did, to what end? Why do your counselors have you send a resume - what else is on there that you can't get on the regular application somewhere?</p>
<p>Well, I had quite a few more activities than the spaces that they allowed for on the application. Also, I felt some of them needed description. There just wasn't enough room to put in all the stuff that I did for my science activities... I think it's better to err on the side of giving them more information than they need than not enough. I wanted them to be able to understand and see that I was really into the things I do. I really don't think the "hours per week" numbers can tell everything... I've seen several classmates just make up numbers when filling out their applications. The fun thing to do is ask somebody to add up their involvement hours and realize that with the numbers they put down, they wouldn't have time to do anything but their activities, let alone anything academic.</p>
<p>My D did not send a resume and got in. Every college we visited said that b/c of time limitations, adcoms usually stick with what's on your app. I imagine that most of the students admitted to ND were selected based on the strength of their app's, not on their resume. I would suggest you focus on your app</p>
<p>I sent in the application, that's it- and i got in</p>
<p>My reasons parallel those of TenBelow's. There were things that didn't fit on the application (2 clubs, snowboarding, being a referee). Also, I was able to elaborate on things that I did within EC's. I was able to tell them accomplishments within NHS, the types of places I volunteered, etc. If they didn't want to read it, they didn't have to. I didn't think it would hurt.</p>
<p>What other additional materials did you guys send in? For example, project sent in a CD of him playing guitar.</p>
