What's the importance of a resume?

<p>So, I just realized that the Georgetown App didn't have a spot for additional information (did it?), and I did not send my resume. So, I think that I was able to include most of my important activities on the application; otherwise, I would have made sure to send in one. I'm just curious as to whether or not this will hurt me.</p>

<p>Do most people send in resumes?</p>

<p>I didn’t send in a resume, but I did bring one to my interview and my interviewer was very impressed. So it never hurts</p>

<p>I sent one but at this point I’d think it’s too late to send one anyway so I wouldn’t worry about it!</p>

<p>Yes, a resume was required by my HS guidance department as part of the package we prepared for guidance at the beginning of senior year. We all sent resumes with all college applications.</p>

<p>Unless a college specially asks for a resume, you should not submit one, as the information is generally considered duplicative of the activity list. See “Acing The College Application” by Michele Hernandez:</p>

<p>A lot of people send resumes (myself included) with their college apps, but lets face it - admissions most likely doesn’t have time to thoroughly read all/any of them. At this point, relax, breath, and enjoy the remaining week(s) of hope.</p>

<p>Did you guys send the resume through mail or e-mail because I sent mine through e-mail and Georgetown really doesn’t respond to emails.</p>

<p>I snail mailed mine, although granted it was a day or two after the admissions deadline… Hope they don’t mind?</p>

<p>I sent mine via snail mail as well… I mostly went over what my goals and aspirations were though, so it was hardly a resume in its true sense. mlsalle, from what i understand, they’ll accept everything they get until a certain point of the year after the admission deadline (March 15th for Johns Hopkins) so i’d imagine it be the same for Gtown</p>

<p>I sent a copy of my resume in when I wrote a letter to the regional admissions officer post deferral…</p>

<p>She actually recommends that students send in another Activity List (a resume of sorts, or at least of the kind college applicants typically send in with their apps). But I didn’t attach one to my Georgetown app and was accepted EA, so it’s certainly not a requirement. I imagine most applicants don’t have one.</p>
