The résumé is an integral part of your application. Every college wants it. It summarizes everything you have done in your high school career.
FAQS:
Can a resume include SAT/ACT/SATII Scores?
- Sure, colleges will see the results anyway when you send them the official report so it is not necessary.
Can I list total hours volunteered instead of weekly commitment?
- No problem, some programs may ask you later how many hours per week you have volunteered so be prepared to answer that.
I have no employment history, is that OK?
- It's not a problem! Having employment is probably the least important component of your resume, but it definitely adds a little bit of value since it shows more real-world experience. But don't fret if you don't have a job. Everything else is more important than that.
I have no publications for my research. Can I include a paper I have written about my research?
- It's best to include it if you have published or submitting for publishing. But if you have written an extensive paper on the culmination of your research and submitted it to various competitions or presented your paper somewhere, by all means, include this!
