Q: Several of the colleges I am applying to have the option to upload a resume. Should I include one?
A: Including a resume as part of your application can be a great way to provide more details about your accomplishments. The Common Application only allows you to include ten activities and a brief description of each extracurricular. If you feel that that is inadequate, then a resume is a great tool. However, if your resume simply rehashes what you have already included in your Common Application then don’t waste the time of your admission reader.
