my resume sucks.

<p>My resume sucks. It really sucks and I am looking at top schools like Emory. I basically listed everything I could think of. Should I still attach a resume or just use the common app? My list of activities are a little bit too much for common app 7 or 8 boxes..but not enough to be a resume.. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK AT MY RESUME AND TELL ME WHEHTER I SHOULD include my resume or not? please???
Thank you!</p>

<p>I thought the same thing when I first looked at the common app, but if you read what it says it makes more sense. They don’t want you to list each thing you’ve done individually, you’re supposed to put down an activity like “Violin” and then you can say what positions you’ve held relating to this and awards or honors you may have received relating to violin.</p>
