<p>In the additional information section, do you copy your whole resume into the space or just say here is the attachment, with a link?</p>

<p>There’s an Upload Documents button…in which case you do not need to say anything in the space. </p>

<p>Attachment > copy/paste anyday.</p>

<p>Yeah what @n0vad3m0n said.</p>

<p>Last year I wrote in the Additional Section and when I print previewed found that nearly half my words were cut off. I went ahead and uploaded the document instead. Just make sure it’s in a supportable file.</p>

<p>thanks…</p>

<p>What are the supportable files?</p>

<p>I would definitely go for .pdf. But of course there are other types available: </p>

<p>Once again I agree with @n0vad3m0n. Haha.</p>

<p>I think they’re actually called supportable formats but basically they are files and how your computer reads them. Some are supported, others are not because due to lack of software or ect. (Most basic definition/terminology. If you’re more interested in how they work, google.) </p>

<p>Anyways, I would stick with .pdf and .doc files. Those are the most universal formats that I’ve seen.</p>

<p>Yep, the only reason why I prefer .pdf is because sometimes the upload can inadvertently modify formatting with .doc files. What you see on a pdf file on your computer is exactly what colleges will see.</p>

<p>Very true. I have a Mac with Pages as my Word Processor and whenever I export a .doc file onto a PC, it definitely modifies the file. Good call.</p>

<p>To the OP just go with a .pdf file.</p>
