<li>Is there a difference between a resume and an attachment?</li>
</ol>
<p>For some reason, my parents think that a resume should highlight (by list) the major points in my application (like major awards, major activities, etc.). </p>
<p>I think that the "resume" should be an attachment to the application, providing more detail about the awards/activities because of limited space on the common app.</p>
<p>Who's perception is better?</p>
<ol>
<li>What exactly defines a scholastic distinction? Would USAMO count?</li>
</ol>
<p>For the courses section, there are only 8 spaces each semester, but in Romania we have more courses, next year I am going to have 14 courses I think. What can I do? How can I write the other ones?</p>
<p>If I went to a camp for 4 weeks, should i put 168 hrs./wk. in the activities section since it was a 24hr/day thing? because that just looks stupid to me.</p>
<p>also, where is the special talents section? i have read through previous posts, but still can't find it...</p>
<p>In the "other college or university credit" section should I put down the local college I've taken two photography classes at? what about colorado college, where I took a fiction writing class this summer as part of a scholarship program? </p>
<p>It also says that official transcripts should be sent as soon as possible, does this mean I need to request that these two colleges send transcripts to all of the schools I'm applying to?</p>
<p>am I using this section of the application correctly?</p>
<p>phurley93: for camp , you don't need to put the hours because you are there the whole time, it would be irrelevant. for trips and camps people don't put hr/weeks</p>
<p>A resume is structured in specific ways (by activity/skillset/work experience).... </p>
<p>Jenkster, I would think it is both (parents and your way) for your resume
(the structure being the way your parents wanted and the content the way you see it ) ...?</p>
<p>USAMO :D is a major accomplishment.....you could leave it out
if you made the IMO ;)</p>
<p>I'd like to know what blindkite brought up as well. </p>
<p>If I took a couple of community college classes over the summer, I'd put them under the "other college or university credit" section right? But it tells you to have an official transcript sent from the college. Um...I don't think I even HAVE a transcript from the community college :P</p>
<p>Btw: How do you do that quote thing where it puts the quote in a box?</p>
<p>I would like to send additional rec's from people outside the school that i interned for. what form would i use? should i just ask them to write a letter? or should I give them the teacher recommendation form?</p>
<p>Alsoo... can I send the main app's to some school earlier than the other schools?<br>
I want to apply ED.. but i dont want to send it to all the schools when i apply to the school for ED>
Thanks. :]</p>
<p>OK, for musical instruments. I play in several different orchestras and have been part of several different programs in the past. Should I make "Flute" the activity and list all the orchestras I'm part of/awards/competitions/past programs
"Position Held, Honors Won, or Letters Earned"? Would the Average time spent include rehearsal + individual practice time then? OR should it be separated into separate activities under "Activity"?</p>
<p>If I have a name that sounds like an asian name but don't fill in the optional race part, are colleges still gonna find out whether I'm asian or not and treat me as an asian student?</p>
<p>Tennis is my main EC, like practically my only legit one since it takes up my life. I'm a little confused about how to portray this though with the check boxes.</p>
<p>I put the varsity tennis thing in no problem, but this only covers the actual school tennis season, which is a very small part of my tennis playing. I also play on 2 different club teams and train every day after school and play tournaments every weekend. Should i mention the club teams on other lines? how would i do this anyway, just say that they are varsity sports or other sports? or should i just say that i play varsity tennis for like 40 weeks instead of the 10 to cover the club teams?</p>
<p>also, every summer for the past 4 years i have trained in florida at a prestigious tennis training facility.. this is a huge time commitment so should i take up one of my EC lines with it?</p>
<p>sorry about all the questions but i don't really want to include a resume because it would look mad lame with just a couple of lines of tennis stuff on it and not much else</p>
<p>bethyy: go to the short answer section. The first box is:
In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).</p>
<p>It seems that is where you should put your tennis info</p>
