<p>I want to send a resume to the colleges I'm applying to on the common application. Can i do this by uploading via the Additional Information essay?</p>
<p>Yes. I don't see the reason why you can't</p>
<p>Yeah. That's how I did it; it seems to be the norm.</p>
<p>ok and is it okay if it repeats some things in the awards and activities list?</p>
<p>^ It's fine. </p>
<p>My was a two-pager that I put in PDF format (looks much cleaner) and I uploaded it into the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>...considering it automatically converts all documents into PDF format, looks like that was fairly pointless.</p>
<p>Well, whichever converter the commonapp uses seems fairly good, but there are always occasional conversion blunders. Adobe PDF writer is probably safest if there's complex formatting involved, or if you need to use something like LaTeX, but I guess MSWord (or whichever rich text editor) is fine for most purposes.</p>
