<p>You can attach a resume, although many applicants now do this--might be seen as a gimmick if it is long.</p>
<p>Use the additional information section if you need more space--before attaching a resume. Try to pick the activities which meant the most and those that you stuck with for the past 3-4 years. Also, pick the awards that have the most impact, usually district/county/state/national accolades.</p>
<p>Remember that the adcoms have many applications to read, so highlight the best ones in your applications, and if, you must, attach a resume.</p>
