Hey guys-

I know I've asked this before but I'm looking for some more opinions. Should I attach a 2 page resume to my Georgetown app? It doesn't explicitly say do/do not attach one, so I'm not quite sure. What are you guys doing?

Thanks,
Lauren

My daughter did attach a resume to her application bc she could not fit all of her activities/awards etc. on that sheet.
Can't hurt to attach it!

yes, i attached a resume to mine as well. If you can't fit everything, attach one. It doesn't say you shouldn't.

I attached a two-pager too; I don't think something fairly brief like that will hurt (in fact, it'll probably help...and besides, they can always choose not to read it if they're overwhelmed by applications!). My guess is that most colleges don't want to write that you can attach one even if it's okay, because there will always be those people who go overboard and send in binders of stuff. =P

I agree Itziar - I knew a girl who had a 10 page resume - she listed every violin recital she had ever done since 8th grade rather than saying she played the violin! It was ridiculous.
Attach one - it can't hurt.
