<p>does yale not prefer to submit resumes?
I'm really confused about this
in the additional info in the common app, can't we upload a resume like document?</p>

<p>obviously i'm not going to do a laundry list, I just think it's important to elaborate on several activities and what each position entails.</p>

<p>can someone clear this up for me?</p>

<p>nope, you SHOULD attach your resumes! it's very important,
yale doesn't know what you've learned from your ECs and how much they have been important to you.</p>

<p>whether you are going to apply to yale or other universities, you'd better submit resumes! and u can upload a resume </p>

<p>i can send you a good resume form to use! =)</p>

<p>From Yale's FAQ</p>

<p>There's not enough room on the Common Application for me to list all my extracurricular activities. What should I do?
You are welcome to submit a separate piece of paper listing your extracurricular activities. However, please follow the same format as set forth in the Common Application. Admissions officers are accustomed to reading about activities in a certain format, and it is distracting when students submit resumes that are inconsistent with the Common Application form. Even if you plan to attach a separate statement of extracurricular activities, be sure to complete the extracurricular section of the Common Application.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that for purposes of college admissions, "more" isn't necessarily "better." Students who present extremely long resumes without an indication of what is really important to them run the risk of diluting their activities. Focus on those activities that are most significant to you.</p>

<p>yeah definitely if you think that the common app isn't sufficient, you can mail yale a supplemental resume whenever your school send in your transcript. usually limit it to 1-2 pages (awards, community service descrption, publications?, etc.) and have NO FLUFF whatsoever since it's <em>supplemental</em>. basically don't repeat anything they would already know.</p>

<p>In a similar vein, how should I format the activities essay? It has been a great source of stress for me as of late.</p>

<p>Wait - why would colleges want a resume? I wasn't planning on sending one in because they always talk about not having an overloaded application. Is this a mistake? Should I send one in?</p>
