Is this too much for a resume?

Applying to College

<p>I am going to start going on interviews soon and I am putting together a resume. Here is what I have so far:
1) Transcript
2) SAT Scores
3) Teacher/Counselor Recs
4) Extracuricular Sheet
5) Paper I submitted to the majority of the colleges.
6) a writing sample dealing with Art history, because I want to minor in it.
7) a paper I wrote completely in French.
8) AP Score Report
9) List of Awards/Honors etc. </p>

<p>Is this too much?</p>

<p>Resumes are good for everything except college apps. I honestly don't see the point in reiterating exactly what you said in your application, but in paper form. </p>

<p>No, it's not too much, but I wouldn't see as to why you feel the need to make a resume for interviews.</p>

<p>A resume should be an organized list of accomplishments and experience. Your transcript, recs, writing samples would not be part of that at all.</p>

<p>how would you get a teacher/counselor rec? Aren't you suppose to sign the sheet waiving your right to see it? And just list your accomplishments/activities/work experience/awards for teh resume...don't add other stuff.</p>

<p>I would try getting the kitchen sink on there too.</p>

<p>One other thing: for a HS grad (or even just a recent college grad) a one page resume is what's expected. Remember that a resume is a list of talking points, not a detailed explanation of everything you've done. You need to allow the reader to choose what's important to discuss -- this isn't time for you to overwhelm anyone. No interviewer expects you to have recs, writing samples, etc. on hand when you meet.</p>

<p>That sounds like an application packet, not a resume. A resume does not have your transcripts, your recs, your writing samples, your homework assignments, your AP score report, etc. A resume is a one or two-page document that lists your professional/educational experience, your awards, maybe some of your relevant ECs.</p>

<p>And you do not need a resume for interviews, anyway.</p>
