<p>In order to fit in all my ECs and significant awards, I'm including a separate personal resume with my Common App.</p>
<p>Question: how exactly do I combine this in a professional way with the EC/Honors section on the Common App? DO I have to complete that section at all, or just say <em>see resume</em>?</p>
<p>Also, since I'm attaching something extra, I obviously can't send anything online through commonapp.org, can I?</p>
<p>bump…10char</p>
<p>You may want to ask this in the Common App thread- it’s stickied at the top of the page.</p>
<p>Bah…I’ve posted many questions there. They get lost in the shuffle and rarely produce answers.</p>
<p>bumpity bump</p>
<p>Just list your SIGNIFICANT awards on the common app and then send in your resume with any supplement materials you may have.</p>
<p>Question #2: Does 18th at Nationals in Speech and Debate count as an “academic award?” It’s more of just an EC I think…</p>
<p>Organize it at whatever is more convenient to you. Seniors showing me their resumes, seriously all of them organized theirs differently.</p>
<p>Honestly, I wrote “see resume” in a lot of spots on the Common App, then formatted my resume the way I felt fit, making up my own categories if need be.</p>
<p>I </3 the Common App. Insert gagging noises here.</p>
<p>Just curious, how did that work out? Where are you going?</p>
<p>wow hooken…you seem to be seriously overconcerned with this types of stuff and other silly questions (like moving and regarding location, lmao).</p>
<p>Calm down, man. It’s not a big deal, seriously, just format it the way you want to.
Lmao..</p>
<p>But:
Did you put “see resume” in the EC section? I’m curious about this as well.</p>
<p>If you are going to attach a resume in place of the EC chart, why not just put SEE RESUME and have them see it? Does it make sense to complete a chart, just to attach a more complete chart?</p>
<p>yeahhhh invoyable, I’m kind of having a momentary panic attack.</p>
<p>But on the thread about Princeton, I was completely joking about moving hahaha</p>
<p>Do NOT fail to fill in the Common App as much as possible, even if you send in a resume. I filled in the Extracurriculars/Academic Awards, etc. and sent in a separate activites sheet that echoed my main ones and gave additional smaller ones, but the adcoms will use the Common App to see which ones are most important/the major awards.</p>
<p>uh…I’ve got another question here…should the personal resume be sent by mail or online?</p>
<p>I plan on sending it in online by uploading it in the “additional details” section</p>
<p>That should work fine. In the “additional details” section I listed and explained all my advanced math courses taken (I was in a special program) and other courses taken at a local college, so I printed a hard copy and had my counselor include it with the school report.</p>
<p>Request for clarity here: When creating a resume or some other form of attached additional information on ECs and/or awards – fill in the regular grid AND repeat but expand upon the info, OR … leave the grid blank except to say, “See attachment”?</p>
<p>Second question: E-mail additional EC/award type info or mail as hard copy?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
