<p>Hey, so I know Cornell has two addreses to send materials. One for the common app. specifically, and the other for supplementary materials, essays, and the Supplement.</p>
<p>So if I attach an activities list to my application (you know, briefly describing <em>some</em> of my acitvities in 3-5 sentences), do i attach it to the Common App, or should I just send it in with essays and "supplemental material"?</p>
<p>Everything ends up in the same folder, right?</p>
<p>Also, if I may extend this question to all colleges. Is it better to submit the resume along with the application or seperately along with essays and stuff?</p>
<p>I ask this because our school has a college office where everything must be processed through the office (meaning we attach the basic application and request for a transcript to be sent to schools; everything else can be sent in by ourselves).</p>
<p>Common App + Personal Essay + 150 word short response + check = One Address</p>
<p>Recommendations, Mid Year Report, School Evaluation, Supplement, The other essays, and everything else other than what i stated above goes to the Pine Tree Road Address</p>
<p>but yes everything ends up in the same folder in the event you sent it to the wrong cornell address. They're not going to black mark you because you sent it to pine tree road instead of the other one or vice versa. I added a resume, and I don't even remember which materials I sent it with.</p>
<p>1 and a half, it was pretty big, but I consolidated it to an almost reasonable length :). I did --Contact info, --academic/testing stats, --extracurriculars, --summers, --jobs, and --awards.</p>
<p>Hmm, mine's turning 3-4. I don't see the need for academic/testing stats because you can always state them elsewhere on the app. Like APs for example, my G.C. can fillout.
I did ECs/ Summer/ Job/ Personal Hobbies. Trying to be explicit as possible because how much can they take? LOL. Also, I'll use the interview to describe these in more detail to add that personal feel.</p>
<p>What are you talking about evanescenteuphoria? This also addresses drinkingnmilkalldaylong.</p>
<p>A resume is a sheet essentially listing your accomplishments in brief.</p>
<p>It has everything to do with supplemental material. It is not required, nor encouraged, nor discouraged by Cornell Admissions. It allows admissions to see all of your accomplishments as you would like to present them in a simple, easy-to-read format.</p>
<p>If you're not sending a violin CD, why not enumerate in slightly greater detail than common app allows your accomplishments on violin?</p>
<p>An 8 page resume seems rediculous for someone who has never had a real job.</p>
<p>I deemed an appropriate amount of detail to be like so (this is the music section of my extra curriculars, also the most extensive):

As you can see, way more information than common app would allow, but bullet form less than 2" of an 8.5x11 piece of paper in 12 pt font.</p>
<p>Sorry to bump this thread, but don't you guys think if they wanted a 5-page resume they'd ask for one? I mean, if they are going to be reading 24,000 applications I doubt they want to read 120,000 pages worth of laundry-listing...am I just crazy or what? I didn't write an extra resume :?</p>
