<p>I need to write a resume for my teachers (who are writing recommendations for me), but I'm not sure what to include/how to format it/etc. Can anyone point me to a sample resume? </p>
<p>I've written resumes for jobs before - but it's not quite the same thing.</p>
<p>Here's a good format:</p>
<p>Name
Phone number
Email
Courses/grades for all four years of high school
GPA (weighted and unweighted)
Class rank
SAT I scores
ACT scores
SAT II scores
AP/IB scores
Planned AP/IB exams
EC involvement (with short details -- short explanation, years involved, hours/week, weeks/year, leadership, accomplishments, etc.)
Employment --> what you did with your money
Academic honors/awards
Other activities (personal, etc.)
Interests
Colleges you're applying to (in order of preference, if you can)
Intended/possible majors</p>
<p>Obviously, put only what applies to you. I'd recommend underlining each section and putting bullets under each. Also, write a letter to your recommender -- why you're applying to what they're recommending you for, what they might mention in the letter (e.g. a passion you have that shows across your app and that they can attest to), submission details, other details specific to your situation, and a thank you.</p>
<p>It might also benefit you to include an essay you've written for college, if you think it might help them when they write your recommendation.</p>
<p>I'm working on drafting my resume now - I do have a question though. Don't worry, I'm not an Ivy candidate, or applying to THAT selective of a school. I don't participate in a lot of school activities, but I do community service and a have many of my own unique passions (i.e. classic car restoration) should I emphasize this on my application?</p>
<p>Also - why should I include what I did with my money under employment?</p>
<p>You put your test scores on your resume?</p>

<p>Hmm. I would only use this one on your resume for your first choice college.</p>
<p>Good idea mj93 - I'm actually only drafting an essay for my teachers at the moment though, not to submit to the colleges themselves.</p>
