<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. Im 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>I would recommend that before you use a “standard” (boring) template, you sit and ponder your potential resume items. Are there any running themes? Anything you can group together? Your resume should ideally act as a marketing tool – and you are a “package” – how do you want people to see you? If you use a boring template, dividing things into education, EC, honors, etc. all you are doing is replicating the exact information that is already on the Common App (if you are using the Common App).</p>
<p>I would suggest that you begin with the standard name/address/contact info at the center top. Then list ACADEMIC – and using bullet points, list your GPA, test scores, AP classes and test scores and any other academic awards that you may have earned.</p>
<p>Then use HEADERS by SUBJECT/THEME. For example - let’s say you play multiple sports. You could say ATHLETICS - and then give highlights of each sport under that. Then for a second category maybe it is COMPUTER SCIENCE/PROGRAMMING and then you again list bullet points.</p>
<p>In the end, a reader should get a sense of who you are, and what it important to you, by the resume categories that you use.</p>
<p>Just note that if a college does not ask for a resume, do not provide one. The admissions officers have enough to do going through the items they do ask for. Resumes often are just a repetition of what was on the application, and not useful in the admissions process unless a college specifically asks for one.</p>
<p>If a resume is required, consider what information could be communicated that doesn’t come across well in the application. If the school uses the common app, for example, there often isn’t really room to list all the awards or accomplishments in the student’s strongest EC area(s). You can use the additional info section for it in the Common App (preferred if college does not ask for a resume), but it also would be suitable for a resume if one is requested.</p>
<p>Thanks for responding; it is very helpful. I will forward to my DS.</p>
<p>look on university of texas admission website. They have a good sample and good advice on writing a resume for use in college admissions.</p>
<p>many schools do not ask for resume. So check with the school before sending a resume.</p>
