<p>Does university of Texas require your resume?</p>

<p>people say you don't but it says highly recommended... does that mean it is required?</p>

<p>You are correct, any time you see “strongly encouraged” or similar language, you are crazy not to take the recommended action if you want to be a competitive applicant! The exact language is: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There is an example and a detailed “tips” section here: </p>

<p>[Rsum</a> | Freshmen | Be a Longhorn](<a href=“http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/resume/]Rsum”>http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/resume/)</p>

<p>Note that it’s absolutely “required” for some honors programs.</p>

<p>If you’re an auto admit (top 8% Texas HS), the resume will help you get into your first choice.</p>

<p>If you’re not an auto admit–whether from Texas, out of state or international–your application will be decided by holistic review of grades, test scores, EC’s, etc., so your resume can only help.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
