<p>Please who knows from experience answer the following questions on creating the resume.

  1. Should there be 2 types of resumes: one for online submission without formatting and one printed copy with formatting
  2. Can it be 2-pages or only one page?
  3. Single-spaced or double-spaced?
  4. In the printed version may I use bold for Objective, Education, Educational and Personal Achivements and so on, and italic for names of organization
  5. Should I include GPA, SAT scores, rank or is it redundant because all the scores will be submitted anyway?</p>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>I think you all are over thinking the activities part of the application. It should be a fast, simple thing to complete. For your application, it’s best to simply fill in the activities chart provided. To be frank, the resumes being submitted are getting a little over the top. Fill in the little chart and move on.</p>

<p>All of the items mentioned in the 4th and 5th part of your question are covered elsewhere. There’s no point in submitting that info on an attachment.</p>

<p>One last thing: please do not send us paper. We are a paperless office!</p>
