<p>When people say that they are submitting a resume it is to further elaborate on their EC's? Does the Comm App not have enough space or not?</p>
<p>Is this helpful in the admissions process? I don't want to be one of those "the thicker the file the thicker the applicant"...</p>
<p>ok i tried online and it was a formatting disaster... i sent the app in in the mail as well and tucked it at the end of that, and i hope it didnt hurt me. i'd try to wedge it all in in the EC/work sections</p>
<p>i used the common app...and sent it in by mail just to be able to sumbit a resume. putting together my own resume gave admissions officers a much better perspective of who i am...than if i had jsut used the 5 or so boxes on the common app. if you're going to send in a resume, make sure you do it well though. feel free to email me if you have any format questions, etc...i went through 2 or 3 versions before I found the one that portrayed me in the best way (and i was accepted with this resume, if that helps!) My grades and scores were a match for the school I was applying to...they were good, but not outstanding, so sending in the resume gave them an idea of what else I was doing when i wasn't getting STRAIGHT A's (nearly, but not quite).</p>
<p>If I already submitted a supplementary "why" essay, and a supp. rec, should I avoid sending a resume...too much?</p>
<p>And how/where did you use the Comm App?</p>
<p>emm, could you give us a small sample of what your resume looked like? I'm just curious at it might be easier for other ppl who are doing this at the last minute.</p>
<p>Can we just put our "resume" in the additional information box online?</p>
<p>I was going to do that, but realized how much better it looks w/ doing it in Resume format. You could also put a lot more stuff ORGANIZED w/ a resume as opposed to just writing it out in "additional comments".</p>
