On Submitting a Resume

<p>Another question! :)</p>

<p>I called the admissions people and they said it would be acceptable to submit a supplemental resume along with all the rest of my application. However, it seems to me that this might be more obnoxious than helpful, especially since my resume is lengthy--four pages sort of lengthy.</p>

<p>Thoughts? Should I cut down my resume to a page or two and send it? send it the way it is? Or not send it at all?</p>

<p>Thanks, all, for your help :)</p>

<p>I’m all for condensing – even my graduate school CV is less than two pages long. Brevity is the soul of wit and many other great things.</p>

<p>Yeah, definitely shorten it. This is time well spent, because you will need a resume to send off for internship applications and the like, and a 4 page resume is a super not good idea in that context (or any other, really). If you were a high level executive with 20 years of experience, maybe 4 pages would be acceptable. As a high school senior, it’s definitely not.</p>

<p>I got accepted EA and chose NOT to send any sort of resum</p>

<p>Thanks guys :slight_smile: I ended up being able to shrink everything down to the essentials and fit it all in the additional comments section. My hat is off to the great advice of CC users!</p>
