<p>Resumes are good to send if you have a long list of ECs, but if you’re not doing much in most of them, then you really don’t need to send one. Say, for instance, you’ve been in about 10 clubs over the high school years, and the application only has room for 6. If you haven’t done anything of worth in 4 of them, then it’s not necessary to include a resume. Just put the 6 you had the most impact/interest in. </p>
<p>I was in my schools Model Congress in 10th Grade, but I was only there because I thought it would look good on my college application. I barely got by in the club. I had no interest in the club, nor did I do anything of worth there. Model Congress never even made it to my application, because it wasn’t necessary to put down on my application.</p>
<p>So my advice is to create a resume if you have more WORTHY ECs than there is space on the application. And only if the schools you are applying/applied to will accept your resume.</p>
