<p>I wasn't planning on adding a resume to my applications until I just now started looking up everything for my applications, triple checking that I have everything, and I just realized that on the applicants checklist, NU recommends adding a resume. I find this kind of redundant, because i'd pretty much be rewriting everything I already have on my application. Is this really necessary?</p>
<p>My son applied there last year and never submitted a resume. It seemed redundant and just never got done. He was accepted with a $12,000 scholarship, so I don’t think it made too much difference.</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply! That’s just what I was thinking, totally redundant.</p>
<p>Some schools want them. I remember being really annoyed at FSU because I had to paste everything into a no-formatting text box for my resume.</p>
<p>I got accepted EA and I just used naviance’s resume maker and used my activities from the common app. If you do make one, send it to the Randolph address. I sent it to the Boston address and they didn’t get it so I emailed it to the admissions office.</p>
<p>a resume would be just a quick and easy overview of everything you should have put on the common app and possibly other awards/activities you did not fit in your application</p>
<p>it should be 1, maybe 2 pages max</p>
<p>I didn’t send a resume, even though my objective stats were less than exemplary. I just included my EC’s (which happened to be quite strong) in my Common App. Got accepted with a $20k/yr scholarship.</p>
<p>I didn’t send one either (to be honest, I didn’t really have enough activities to make one anyway) and I got accepted EA.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
