<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I want to submit a resume for UPenn, but I'm a little worried because it has information that I already added on the Additional Information section of the Common App, and it's over a page. Should I submit it or not? Thanks!</p>
<p>You should not.</p>
<p>a) Penn doesn’t require/want them
b) you’re duplicating info
c) you’re expanding on areas that Penn actually won’t care about – those details you feel are that important? They aren’t really.
d) over one page? Not even your resume upon College Graduation should be over one page.</p>
<p>I got in ED and my resume was 4 pages and I still submitted it.
I duplicated the ECs that were on my common app
but I wanted to elaborate on some of the honors that I didn’t include</p>
<p>If you think it’s important, you should add it
but if not, maybe not.</p>
<p>I got in ED without any resume. I fit all my activities/awards into CommonApp and it worked for me. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone! I guess it doesn’t really matter. It’s just that I received some awards after I filled out all the CommonApp stuff, and I did include them in my additional info section, but I thought it would be nice to put all the things in the Activities section and the Add. Info section together.</p>
<p>DS got in ED without a resume as well…</p>
<p>I like my resume, I think it’s laid out and looks better than the commonapp. It’s two pages, Im submitting it. </p>
<p>It all mechanics though, whether you submit or not is not going to make or break your app. It’s what’s on the resume.</p>
<p>As long as your resume is properly organized–meaning that you have everything laid out by topic/categories and not anything has more than a few sentences to describe it–you should be fine. I plan on submitting my resume to Penn RD as well. My resume is 3 pages long but everything is organized and easy to understand and comprehend and has explanations where necessary.</p>
<p>It sounds more like an addendum that just a resume. If you want to add something, I do not see the harm. The worst they can do is ignore it.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you everyone! :)</p>
