Resumes?

<p>Ok so, the Gtown app is fairly small and simple. It has 6 spots for extracurricular activities, and not much room to list awards. How are you all going to put in the 9 million positions you have held in 35 different clubs?</p>

<p>You send your resume with the application, don't simply use their form.</p>

<p>Actually they said they preferred not to have resumes. You may be talking about an extracurricular resume but I have held several jobs while in between universities and so have worked for awhile and wanted to include mine. I emailed asked if I could include to explain a bit more about my job positions but she emailed back saying if there was something i absolutely could not convey on the form then by all means, send a resume, but they prefer as little paper as possible.</p>

<p>That said, I still might send my CV b/c there is no way other than 'what have you been doing while out of school' for me to demonstrate that.</p>

<p>Well, I don't think it can hurt as long as you don't make it overly long and explain things that perhaps you couldn't convey on the application itself, especially because the Georgetown application is not exactly the best to detail activities. I would recommend sending one (especially because you feel you can't show what you've done in those 5 lines or so). When I applied to schools I sent my resume with every application, in fact, our counselors all urged us to do so as it can show another side of you not seen in transcripts.</p>

<p>Do schools usually save your resumes for more than a year? I unsuccessfully applied last year and sent a resume...this year I'm applying for transfer and have a post-high school graduation CV put together and I'd rather not re-send my high school CV. Any chance they saved it?</p>
