Resume in addition to Common App?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm wondering what to do about detailing your extracurricular activities on the Common App. Clearly, those drop down bars they have online are not enough to specify each activity - I mean, one bar for "Community Service" and that's it? What if you're part of several community service projects and organizations? (As I know everyone on here is...) And it seems as though there's no space to even name each activity (time spent, positions held, that's it)..</p>

<p>Would it be too pretentious to send each college a separate resume? And if not, how would one go about this? (Just mail them a random sheet of paper and expect them to look at it..?)</p>

<p>and also, is 2 pages too much for a resume, or should it all be summed up in 1</p>

<p>Isn't there space for "additional information" on the common app? Could you describe your activities more completely in that space?</p>

<p>Hmm, yeah, but how exactly would you do that? I don't think you could post an entire resume on there...</p>

<p>Also, in my case, I was planning to use that for something else.</p>

<p>You'll have to decide. An entire resume, no, probably not, but you could add to the specificity of the ECs in a couple of lines for each one.
If it's really important that they have the entire two pages, I guess you should mail it separately.</p>
