<p>If it says not to attach a resume, don’t attach a resume. </p>
<p>I was super-involved in many high school clubs and (not to brag lol) won quite a few awards, especially in Speech and Debate. For my applications, I decided not to attach a resume at all. I chose my five or six most significant extracurriculars and my few most important awards, and put those down. I left out everything else that hadn’t been that important to me, because I figured that colleges wouldn’t care that I had been a member (not officer) of French club for two years. I got in early to Yale. So yeah, I think it’s not a bad idea to boil it down to the things that are most important, b/c adcoms are swamped as it is, and it’s kind of cruel to make them read several more pages of stuff when they’re already sorting through thousands of applications, lol. Good luck!!!</p>
<p>And if you do attach a resume…I think AdOfficer always says that it should never be more than one page long (ie he has several major postgrad degrees, and a high school student’s resume should not be longer than his). Makes sense to me!!!</p>
