STUDENT RESUME FOR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS
Many college applications ask for information regarding out-of-school activities, awards, work and
volunteer experience, and other “special” experiences you may have had. Rarely does the college
application provide enough space to adequately (or neatly) respond to this category data.
A short resume’ is a good way of addressing this issue while giving a college application an air of
maturity and polish. Here are some suggestions you may consider. Title your resume’- activity summary so
that admissions officers know what they are looking at. Some examples are: Resume’, Activities Resume’,
Student Summary, and Background Highlights. Place this title at the top of the page. Always include your
name, address, phone number. Here is an example:

Choose a format that you like best. In all cases, try very hard to keep the document to one page. Highlight
awards and leadership activities. Do not list personal recognition programs such as “Who’s Who.” Be honest
and don’t try to “pad” your resume. Fill in your most important activities if they ask for your activities on their
form, and then write “see attached” and include your resume. Do not leave it blank.
As with anything you place in the college application, make sure it is neat, well-organized, spelled correctly
and properly labeled.
