Sending a Resume

[niceilike]

<p>If i send a resume along with my MIT application, will it be read? I realize that they want to focus in on the 5 activities that are most important to me; however, I have 7 or 8 that I would consider all on the same level, and I want them to see everything that I have done/accomplished.</p>

<p>You can send any supplemental material you’d like to send along with your application, and it will be read.</p>

Resumes / “brag sheets”. We will use your application Part II as the resume of record. Sometimes, an addendum that explains your activities/accomplishments can be useful, particularly if it is an usual pursuit or it requires further explanation than what you can fit in the formal application. However, long lists of activities and awards are most often not useful. These extra sheets are most useful in providing depth, not breadth.
