Wondering if I should add my resume to my ED application. Won’t add anything substantial, just go more in depth on service projects, awards within organizations, etc.
@Kbat11700, I would not include a resume if they do not ask for one. It would be like sending 5 teacher recommendations when they only ask for 2. Seeing if applicants can follow directions is part of the process. They tell you what they want you to submit, not the other way around. Good luck.
“Won’t add anything substantial”
I think you answered your own question.
Even if they offer a step to upload a resume, it doesn’t mean it’s needed. Most kids don’t have to explain what’s already in the Activities section.
Both of my kids included a resume with their common app. The resume allowed them to go into more detail on their summer programs, research papers and work experience.
