<p>I've already submitted my app .. but am just wondering:</p>
<p>with the limited one page "additional information' space available on the online common app, how would the many lloooonnnggg resumes ive seen posted on CC be able to fit?</p>
<p>and also.. do colleges see our app (if submitted online) as pdf files and in the way they look in 'print preview'</p>
<p>gooddd luck to all!!!</p>
<p>I also submitted my app online. I took the advice of a few Yale students on CC regarding a resume. They suggested that the only info which properly goes on a resume should be that which adds something to your application. If it just regurgitates a lot of awards and EC's already listed, that essentially you take the risk of aggravating the ADCOM with excessive reading. Therefore, when I took a long hard look at my resume, I realized that much of it was indeed redundant. Although my GC thought it was the only document that captured everything about me all in one place, I had to agree with the Yale students that it was overkill. So, I included only additional information about my 7 EC's from my application in the Additional Information section as well a short list of some other activities. I was also concerned about a resume getting lost since I would have to mail it separately, and our school has a policy not to mail resumes on our behalf.
To answer your second question, I think that it is a PDF file and that what you see in the Print Preview window is exactly what they will see. Hopefully, they will be grateful that we chose to file online!!!</p>
<p>Oh yeah, best of luck to you. Hope the big man in the sky has Yale in my (and your) future!</p>
<p>thank you so much mel!</p>
