<p>I need help with my resume. i wrote it in a chart form ( as a continuation of the one on the common app.) and it turned out to be slightly less than 2 pages... i divided it into 3 charts one for imp. outside of school activities/summer stuff , one for sports and one for school clubs... thing is I only have like 10 activities so it's not like its a laundry list.. but i still think its way to long because of the explanations/honors and awards. If you have any ideas about how to narrow it down I would really appreciate it !
Sorry that it doesnt look very organized but the table format i used would not paste onto here!
thank you very much!</p>
