Format of Resume Attached to Common App

<p>I am planning on attaching a resume to the Additional Information section of the Common App, but I'm not quite sure what it should look like. Does anyone know what the expectation is as far as a supplementary resume goes? Should I leave everything off of it that I already talked about in the Activities section of the application, including only the things I didn't have room for, or not? Should I include brief descriptions of each activity? Do admissions officers prefer a certain format? </p>

<p>Any help would be much appreciated! I've got to get this done really soon...</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey there, I’m a current freshman at Harvard and I attached a supplemental resume. I broke my activities down into broad categories (i.e Government and Politics, Conservation Activism, etc.) and outlined the evolution of my work in those fields. </p>

<p>List everything that you think will paint a good picture of your passion. Certainly explain your big time commitments and responsibilities. That 1 page should be a clear picture of you as a passionate individual. I highly recommend using a resume. </p>

<p>PM me if you’d like more info about Harvard admissions, etc. I’d be glad to help. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks so much! That’s great advice.</p>

<p>Ace2209 would you mind PMing me your resume. I am editing the format of mine right now but I’m not sure if it is formated correctly. Seeing yours would be really helpful</p>
