<p>Pls recommend websites which have templates for college application resume.</p>

<p>There are many websites have resume templates, but most of them are for job seekers. I’m looking for a resume template for college application because some colleges require applicants to summit one-page resume. The ideal template should have “education”, ”EC”, “honors” instead of “skill”, “experience”, “reference”. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Not sure if you are requesting sample college application resumes, or an actual template you can use to enter the information. That said, here is a link I found when researching ways for my student to format an honors college resume. We modeled the resume on the best features of the samples included at the link, including sections that were relevant (not all in the samples were relevant to us) and used Microsoft Word to create it (using a table with grid lines showing as we prepared it, and then removing the grid lines once all the information was inputted.)</p>

<p>Maybe this will be of use (my student was accepted to the program, so I guess the resume met the university’s needs):</p>

<p>mom5: don’t fixate too much on a “template”. This resume allows the applicant to fill in more info re: ECs than is otherwise found in the app itself. If an admissions officer wants clarification or additional detail about an EC, he/she will refer to the resume. I’ll be it’s often not even viewed (that’s why most colleges don’t require one)</p>

<p>As long as it’s comprehensible, you don’t have to worry about its exact formatting or order. 99.8% of what colleges need/want is on the application itself.</p>

<p>I like that list of action words on the last page of the pdf linked in post #2. If the college asks for a separate resume, make sure that it fleshes out the activities more than the Common Application does. I agree the format is less important than conveying the information.</p>
