<p>Is copying/pasting your resume in the Additional Information Section of the online apps good or bad? Is it better to just mail a copy to admissions?</p>
<p>yeah, i want to know too</p>
<p>me too </p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>so does anyone know?</p>
<p>That's why I'm going with the paper application...</p>
<p>Not very sure about online apps.</p>
<p>Don't be redundant.</p>
<p>If you had enough space in the above sections to fully explain your level of participation in certain extracurriculars, the significance of certain awards, etc., then don't mention it again in the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>Leave it for new things that you didn't have space for or for more detailed explanations of certain activities for which there was not adequate room earlier.</p>
<p>Based on other people's opinions/experiences, it doesn't seem as if sending in a written resume is very helpful. It pulls priorities away from the main application, may seem desperate, and often goes so far as to mention things that don't matter at all.</p>
<p>I think the online application provides plenty of space to show who you are as both a prospective student and a human being. Work intellectually, and you'll find the best way to express yourself with it.</p>
<p>so it's best to just use the little boxes?</p>
<p>You HAVE to use the little boxes. But if you have extra information that you didn't have space for, then it's alright to provide that information.</p>
<p>I personally attached my resume to every school I applied to (online, on the additional information page). But only because I had so much that I didn't have space to mention. And, well, it looks pretty. =p</p>
