How to Effectively Position Yourself for Admission into Harvard College

One caveat: A resume should not duplicate information already presented in the Common or Supplemental Apps. (For example, Harvard’s Supplemental asks about your summer activities, therefore it’s redundant and superfluous to also include this info in a resume.) If you include anything extra at all – be it photos, youtube links, or a resume – the information should be unique and enhance your application.

<p>Yes I basically agree that overlap in extra materials should be minimal (unless you add some real depth to previously mentioned activities and such), but also beware of appearing too disjointed if do you opt for the “optional”. Sometimes repeating some key points of your accomplishments can be useful - redundancy is not always bad because at 2 in the morning on a lot of coffee, not even a Harvard admissions officer is infallible.</p>
