<p>Because of lack of space on the common app and unusual extracurricular achievements, I was considering submitting a resume. Do middlebury adcoms appreciate this? If so should i just like upload it to the additional information section?</p>
<p>I couldn’t tell you if they appreciate it or not, however, S did exactly this (and important to note in this case, was accepted).</p>
<p>Some caveats - keep it concise, brief and to the point. No paragraphs or long descriptions. Use a similar format to what is on the common application. Make sure you format as a PDF so any margins etc upload correctly.</p>
<p>Do it! As long as it isn’t too long, or repeats info from the common app, I think it could be the tipping point in your favor.
My S wouldn’t send any additional materials originally(Mom, they don’t ask for that!), got wait-listed, and you betcha he sent his prize-winning newspaper editorials etc. then…and was accepted.</p>
<p>WAIT! WHAT? I’ve been told to repeat the information in my r</p>
<p>We did the whole thing… so yes, some of it was repeated from the common ap. An Ad Com could look at this resume and basically have his entire history. We also did it chronologically (backwards starting in senior year) like a real resume would be. I say “we” because I formatted it in a document. He did not however send anything “extra” </p>
<p>Basically, the headers went like this:
Contact information including SS#
Education
AP/CIS/Honors Courses - GPA
Athletics
Honors/Awards
The Arts - Theater/visual Arts and Awards
Volunteer/Community Service
Summer Athletic Camps
Summer Employment
Extracurricular Athletics (off season teams etc)</p>
<p>Under each header info was chronological starting with newest, in columns similar to the common ap. (The entire thing was just short of two pages in very legible font )</p>
<p>He wasn’t a club joiner, but then too - he never had any time! Had he been editor of the newspaper or president of the class that would have gone either before or after athletics (and probably before if it was were most of his time was spent or success found). Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Just came across this article in the NYT… Now that there might be considerably more room to list extracurriculars, perhaps heeding this advice would seem wise:</p>
