<p>This may have been asked before, but I tried searching CC and couldn't come up with anything.</p>
<p>I plan on sending the University a resume briefly touching on the ECs that I couldn't cover in the Common App as well as include some additional information. However, should I send Universities a hard copy version by mail, or attach it to the common application in the "additional info" section. Hard copy usually looks better, but I dont know if uni's will find this extremely annoying.</p>
<p>Also, how long would be considered too long for the resume? Right now it's about three pages, but the reason it's so long is because I have a lot of spacing to make it look 'prettier'. </p>
<p>Any input would be great. THanks in advance.</p>
<p>i'd submit it online through the additional info section. don't make it prettier; it's all the same to the admissions officers. 3 pages is too long. cut down to 1-2 pages MAX. be succinct. hope that helps</p>
<p>Also, remove from the resume anything that's elsewhere in the application (GPA, rank, test scores, class lists) if it's not one of the things you're explaining. If you need to repeat something for completeness (like in a listing of awards), one phrase is sufficient. All explanations should be phrases ("Taught reading to 1st graders") not sentences ("I taught reading to Ms. Smith's first grade class at Whozits Elementary School").</p>
