OBAMA's RESUME!!!

<p>Ok not really, but I have a lot of questions about resumes. </p>

<li><p>I have a lot of extra stuff to say to columbia: research work, charity stuff etc. so would it be good to attach a resume even though they say not too. I feel it would really help my application</p></li>
<li><p>can someone send me a good format for a college resume for ivy leagues in general</p></li>
<li><p>what would be a good format for a columbia resume, if I should include one</p></li>
</ol>

<p>This question has been asked a lot on this forum and I myself am very curious about it since I'm applying this fall.</p>

<p>Based on what the current students and alumni are saying it is strongly discouraged especially if it is repeating something that's already found in the application.</p>

<p>That being said I really do think that each individual case is different and for some activities, situations, etc, extra materials may be needed. So for people considering to attach extra materials I would say just trust your intuition. If it feels like it's going to add to your application holistically, by all means go for it. Heck, I'm even attaching extra stuff.</p>

<p>The worst that the admissions committee could do is chuck it out the window because they find the information to be redundant. I really don't think they'll say "GASP, this kid just sent me two pages of extra material! EPIC FAIL! Thanks for the application fee donation!"</p>

<p>my school automatically sends resumes in the transcript packets they send out...</p>

<p>sooooo yeah</p>

<p>yay!</p>

<p>Hahaha, nice misleading title. I wonder if he would be open to speaking at Columbia for a commencement ceremony or something similar.</p>
