| So I met with an associate at Goldman Sachs today (not a formal interview, more an informational kind of thing), and he took a look at my resume. I asked him about the high school thing, and he said it was good to list since a lot of people are indeed familiar with the school and you never know, it could help. As for my SAT score, he also thought it was good to list because it reinforces high academic achievement.
After talking to my school's career center and a few recruiters, this is my conclusion: I think it's fine to not list your high school or your SAT I (unless specifically requested), but if you feel like it might help your resume because your high school is sufficiently well-known or your SATI score is impressive, then do it. Nobody's going to think you're horribly naive because of it. |
