<p>Did anyone else attatch the resume.
I am hearing it has an adverse effect now</p>
<p>I always wonder why people feel the need to attach a resume. All of the components of a resume are included in the application itself: activities, awards, test scores, work experience, leadership position etc. plus the 150 word space to elaborate on one of your activities. A good resume shouldn't be more than a page, page and a half, and I"ll bet if you took all of the stuff you already wrote in the application, i'td be about a page, page and a half.</p>
<p>From my interpretation, the additional info section is to clarify things that there wasn't space for in the rest of the app. Like, I used it to clarify the hours I worked during the summer vs. the school year, a description of a science program I did, a short description of what I do at work, etc. But it was all stuff that there just wasn't space for in the text boxes of the original part.</p>
<p>If you applied ED though and got deferred (like me), I think they're cool with a resume of sorts about what you've done this fall.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I attached a resume because there wasn't enough space on the application for my awards, my volunteer work, or my summer experiences. I also took the opportunity in my resume to expand and explain my extracurricular activities, and also to clarify the number of hours I spent for my athletics.</p>
<p>Whoops, I just actually read past the first paragraph of your post. Yeah, so I did the same thing as you except I put it in resume form. I did read that resumes should be for jobs/work, not college, but my guidance counselor was really insistent on me making one so I did. Plus it looked rather spiffy, I thought.</p>
<p>Don't stress the resume; it can't have that much of an adverse effect.</p>
<p>I attached a "resume" because the box is about 150 CHARACTERS not words. I could barely write anything after I wrote the club and one of the things I did in it...</p>
