Looking For Input From College Reps

<p>Well. As a rep. As a person who looks at the resumes most intently. I can say from my singular perspective (and you are going to hate this.) It doesn’t matter. Sorry. Theatre people are ridiculously sure of their own opinions regarding talent and fit. If you handed me a piece of paper that said you have done 20 shows, been in every club, and worked at the homeless shelter I would take note. But if you weren’t a good fit, or what we were looking for, we wouldn’t much care. I suppose if two people are at some plausible “same level, same look” situation, we MAY look at the resume and make some decision. But it is rather unlikely. </p>

<p>I don’t see any issue placing that information there. No matter what, it will never be detrimental. There is absolutely no formula for a high school resume (there is barely one for a professional resume!) Stop sweating the small stuff. I can’t imagine a single school saying, “well, we liked him/her, but all this extra stuff on the resume rules them out.” </p>

<p>I wish you luck in your endeavors. This cannot be easy from a parent or student perspective. If it makes you feel any better, at least where I am, we spend hours discussing and debating the merits and fit of the potential incoming class. And we feel terrible when people we have connected with aren’t invited into the program. This is a very difficult process.</p>
