[quote=Anonymous]Some kids attach resumes with additional information on extracurriculars, but unless they have a very specific talent/skill, and use the resume to list all the very high level awards they have won (ie musical competitions, possibly sports achievements), my friend the Ivy admissions officer says that usually the longer the resume the more ridiculous meaningless activities are being listed, and that really the people reading applications only want to see the key important parts of an applicants life, which should fit onto the Common App. So unless applying for a job or a teacher asks for one to help him/her write a recommendation then don't waste time on it. however, it can help a kid to organize their thoughts/memories to prepare a resume or summary of their activities/achievements/education in preparation for filling out the common App.[/quote]
