How does Princeton feel about resumes?

<p>Pretty self-explanatory question. I know Stanford is adamant about kids not sending one. What do Pton's adcoms think about attaching one (in the additional info of the Common App)? Helps? Hurts? Indifferent?</p>

<p>Does stanford really not want to see a resume? Where do they say that?</p>

<p>At one info session I went to, an S rep basically told me that they throw out resumes. And someone one of the Stanford boards said that he had heard a similar thing from another rep. Their website says:

<p>From what we’ve heard here, <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/836892-resume.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/836892-resume.html&lt;/a&gt;, resumes count as supplementary credentials. So does Princeton feel the same way?</p>

<p>ugh i have to make another version of my common app then…</p>

<p>If it would hurt, their website would’ve said so.</p>

<p>Yeah I really doubt that they frown upon it. I mean, I’ve read their application instructions front and back many times, and I’ve never seen any indication that they dislike resumes.</p>

<p>I doubt it hurts, since they don’t discourage it and my college counselor (top private school) encouraged me to attach one.</p>

<p>I’ll see how that decision played out on Thursday. :/</p>
