@Mastodon97 It's practically neccessary. Most activities require more space for a description than is offered by the Common App. I simply used the Common App space to list the details of my position, whereas the resume discusses my duties at the job, etc.
@ILRie18 Crap, I don't really have the need for submitting a resume as I feel that all the info I want to provide is covered by the Activities space. I don't know if thats a bad sign or not BTW you asked me for my stats and I actually submitted them in an earlier post on this thread but I'll post it again cause I'd love feedback on it.
Bengali-American
HS GPA: 3.3-This was due to a lot of family and personal troubles.
ECs: Not that much, just some volunteering.
SAT: 1980
ACT: 28
College GPA: 3.8 (I'm currently a sophomore).

Got 2 really amazing recs from Professors.
I'm pretty good at writing, so my essays are (hopefully) great.
@TransferKid14 Absolutely, since the Common App deadline is today, they don't expect financial aid info until everyone gets their portal information. I haven't even gotten mine yet lol.
School: Public Ivy (trying to turn that into a real Ivy lol)
Major: International Relations
GPA: 3.67 (one semester in, all As for the midterm report)
Rec letter: Phenomenal, from a professor in a relevant field as well
ECs: there are a lot, two very relevant internships, few finance related clubs and nonprofit work (leadership positions in all)
@ballislife98 Mind me asking what the relevant internships are?
HS GPA: 3.6
College GPA: 4.0
ECs: One relevant job, few relevant leadership positions
Rec: One from a professor I'm close with and another from my previous employer
Oh yeah my HS grades were absolutely horrible. It was my ECs and Scores to get me into my current school
Yeah no prob
One was a Global Business Research Internship at a research university and the other was a Microfinance Intern for a very large nonprofit!
Do you guys know the significance of the midterm report for ILR to admissions? I'm guessing its more useful if your are transferring in as a sophomore since you have less college grades. but what does it mean to something transferring in as a junior.
