<p>Is this a normal thing to include when applying for college? I am applying to MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and the like, and my school recomends sending in a resume detailing extracurriculars and awards in addition to the application. Is this something that will help or hurt me? Does it not make a difference? Do you know people who did it, or is it an uncommon behavior?</p>
<p>Thanks a million for your responses!</p>
<p>you may not need a resume, but if you dont think you can add this into an essay, it is good to talk about your main ECs. let's say your president of the class, give a small description of what you do to help your class. let's say you are part of some small club, dont expand on it because it isnt meaningful.</p>
<p>I'm submitting all of my apps online...and often times they give you about 5 words space to elaborate on ECs. Is that b/c they really want that succint of an answer...or what?</p>
<p>All my teachers have told me to send in a resume.</p>
<p>Oh, I'd like to know that answer to that too!</p>
<p>I read in this college planning book that you should send in a resume BUT my school hasn't mentioned anything about sending one in.</p>
