<p>Should resume for college application include an overview statement summarizing the resume? I am not talking about an objective statement.</p>
<p>Most colleges want you to submit only what is asked for and that does not include a resume. A number actually say that if you submit things not asked for they will be discarded. Others just will not review things not asked for. Thus, before submitting any resume to a college, confirm first that it is allowed. As to what to include: a resume is supposed to be a short summary that is essentially an overview and thus, if the resume is done correctly, you should have no need to also submit an additonal overview of what is in the resume.</p>
