<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I am in completing my Commonapp these days. I have heard people say that they attach their resume to the application. What is included in it? Is there a specific format for it? I am an int'l student so I am not much familiar with this.</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
<p>Attaching a resume is entirely unnecessary. All the information there should be on the Common App anyway. Only include extra information if it’s entirely necessary.</p>
<p>i have to give it to my dean as well for the college report</p>
<p>Bruno is correct that this is unnecessary. Also, there is no specific required or recommended format or content. </p>
<p>However, it can be helpful if you have numerous or unusual activities. </p>
<p>My S’s activity resume uploaded to the additional info section was a table with gridlines, Arial 11 pt, single spaced, landscape, with these column headings in bold: Activity, Years (hours), Position, Description.</p>
<p>Example of one row’s entries:<br>
Activity:<br>
Debate Team </p>
<p>Years (hours):
9-12 (3/ week outside class plus about 15 tournament weekends/ year) </p>
<p>Position:
12: Secretary, Honor Chords for graduation,
11: Student of the Year Award, Annual Coach’s Award, National Forensics League Award of Distinction, letter jacket </p>
<p>Description:
Gives me an outlet for my personal wealth of practically useless facts and allows my affable personality to shine.</p>
<p>thanks both of you</p>
