It’s not necessary and can be a hassle when it merely repeats what you already wrote. You should spend the time organizing the Activities section logically, rather than use a resume to list every single thing you ever did. If one or two things need elaboration (and that’s rare,) add a line or two in Addl Information.

Adcoms aren’t looking for a biography. You want what’s most relevant to your admission review. You don’t want to slow them down poring over a resume, only to find it’s just a repeat.

The difference is if a college specifically requests this. Not just whether there’s a link.
