Resume for low extra circ

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi there - my son is a Junior and he is working on putting together his resume. He goes to a magnet marine biology school, solid GPA and solid SATs however not very active. I want to make sure he includes everything possible on his resume and does not miss something that we do not realize can be included.
Thus far he has:
sports (only one year)
school clubs
employment (minimal)
Junior ROTC - part of the school curriculum
Volunteer events</p>

<p>Is there anything else you can think of that he can pull from his hat? Things that perhaps students often forget to include? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
-Linda</p>

<p>Religious community engagement? Long time hobbies (fishing, gardening, cooking, photography, carpentry, etc…) that he pursues individually or as part of your family’s interests? Anything he’s self-studied and achieved some proficiency in - a language, a skill? What did he do over the last few summers?</p>

<p>He doesn’t need a ton of things - just a few that he genuinely cares about - and even then, only if he’s applying to the schools for which ECs matter.</p>
