Listing ECs on Common App

<p>I have a resume but many people have told me NOT to include it because I can just use the Common App extracurriculars section. HOWEVER, I find the EC section of the Common App lacking. For example, if I participated in Key Club, I have to list that under Other Club/ Activity. They also leave me no place to even write the name of my EC. It's really really confusing for me. If I were to include a resume, how do I attach it on my Common App page?</p>

<p>I’m attaching mine under the additional information part, where they allow you to upload a document. Yea the common app activities section is just pathetic; you have no room to write anything.</p>

<p>as long as its not repetitive and will really make a difference, then you should definately do it.</p>

<p>I know a couple of friends who attached resumes last year and got into pretty good colleges…</p>

<p>what else could you use additional information for?</p>

<p>mentioning more awards, volunteer hours, or something unique about ur situation such as living with a single parent or living with a guardian rather than parents or living in many different countires/states… idunno stuff like that which doesn’t belong anywhere else</p>

<p>Well you can actually do whatever you want for the additional information part. Some people come up with quirky stuff but I think I’m just gonna attach my resume there, haha.</p>
