For the additional information...

<p>Hello fellow members </p>

<p>I am planning to attach resume on the additional information. In that resume, do i have to write down everything that i have done? Including what i have already mentioned in my common app? or should i just write my resume with only facts that i have not included in my common app?</p>

<p>Thank you :D</p>

<p>Why restate information that is already given? If you plan on attaching the resume then show the committee new data.</p>

<p>Yeah I wouldn’t do a resume.</p>

<p>Schools like MIT even limit EC’s to just five. Everything needs to be pretty important if you’re putting it down.</p>

<p>I have a problem with the Common App’s Activities section though - there is absolutely no room to describe everything that I’ve done for each extracurricular so I’m either forced to water it down or repeat and elaborate it on the Additional Information.</p>

<p>yeah n0vad that’s my point so i know that restating is kinda redundant but should i elaborate on my resume so that admin office know what i exactly did?</p>

<p>You should do it in a short format. In my opinion USC had the best format for explaining ECs. I took their format and applied it to the Common App.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Short and sweet to the point.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, we don’t have room for one-two sentences describing the EC and why it was important to us :/</p>

<p>I agree, some of the state apps that aren’t on Common App were fantastic. I know Maryland’s app just required us to upload a resume.</p>

<p>Should Varsity letters for sports go under Honors?</p>

<p>It would depend. If you have Honors that seem to be of more importance or prestige, then they would certainly bump the Varsity letters down.</p>
