Is a resume helpful on our application?

Some college says that we can upload our resume if we want. Is that really helpful? When I applied for penn, I did not upload it because I didn’t think it was a big deal. If I want to send that one now, would it be okay?

Is it just a rehash of what’s on your application?

If you didn’t include it in your application I would not send it now.

Very few students genuinely have enough stuff to require a resume. The vast majority of students can squeeze it into the Common App. Know which group you’re in and act accordingly. Do not send a resume that rehashes all the stuff you’ve already included elsewhere.

Thanks for replying:) Some of the stuff in my resume are new so I did not put them in my application. But the most of stuff has been included in my application already. I just put the activities I did in different categories like leadership experience and volunteering. Should I send them then?

Probably not unless they’re pretty significant and you think they could impact your chances.
