<p>I have an interview at Rice next week (although this could apply for any school so I am posting it here), and am assembling a resume to give to my interviewer as advised by Guidance Counselor. My question: Is it standard protocol to just present EC's/awards, or should I also put my SAT and GPA on it? My one concern about putting my SAT on it, is that it may go up in the fall, along with my GPA.</p>
<p>SAT/GPA are important parts of your objective qualifications in the current state</p>
<p>So when you write up a professional resume after college, you always put down your degrees/majors/college and grad school GPA as objective stats.</p>
<p>Right now you have no degree, so the SAT and GPA are important objective stats for you</p>
<p>Yes, but I am not sure if you totally understand my question… I am not applying yet, and my scores and GPA may improve before the time that I apply. It was my impression that college interviews were more about intangibles rather than statistics. Correct me if I’m wrong…</p>
<p>I would format it like a typical resume. Include your education (in this case, high school with expected graduation date and GPA if it’s >3.0, can include weighted and unweighted GPA), but I wouldn’t put your SAT, unless it’s particularly good. Test scores generally aren’t included in resumes, but I don’t know if it’s different for college admissions interviews. Then put your extracurriculars/work experience/volunteer experience/etc, and then your awards/honors/scholarships. I would leave off a skills section (which is usually included in a resume), unless you are fluent in a language or something similar.</p>
<p>“It was my impression that college interviews were more about intangibles rather than statistics. Correct me if I’m wrong…”</p>
<p>This is exactly why you should put your GPA and SAT down on the resume; it makes the resume, and by extension you, look more professional. Alternatively/Additionally, you could put your class rank or percentile down as well.</p>
<p>You’re right, these interviews are much more about intangibles - and one of the most important intangibles you can display is professionalism and maturity. The interviewer isn’t really going to care what your GPA is, he/she isn’t going to be judging you on that. But he will be more impressed that you have a professionally styled and formatted resume</p>
