<p>I neatly summarized all my Academic and Extracurricular Achievements in a resume. I won different prizes at the national Olympiads in my country (I'm an international). Now my question goes like this: Is it necessary to attach translated copies of the diplomas I have received? Would colleges look skeptical at my resume if it is not supported by copies of the actual diplomas? I know that the admission officers receive lots of paper applications each year and I wouldn't like them to consider my application as unnecessarily "congested", but neither I would like them to think my resume is an invention. Any opinions?</p>
<p>Errm, anyone?</p>
<p>I do not think you have to provide any documentation. I am not international, but domestically you just state which ever distinction (even national distinctions) without requiring to photocopy anything.</p>
<p>You are correct in the concern that admissions officers would be overrun with paper work had everyone need to report proof of distinction.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
