Job121 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 It is 650 word limit. I am thinking about DS's resume, possibly. But once again, it feels not personal enough. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Assuming that I'm thinking of the right question, we didn't add anything. A resume for my son would just repeat all the information already included. It basically said to summit something additional if needed to explain anything unusual.

8filltheheart Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The only thing Dd put in that section was additional siblings that didn't fit within the main part of the form bc that is where it told her to put them. Schools that want resumes have a place on their portion for uploading them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch at Home Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 DD was homeschooled through 10th grade and the has been in a dual enrollment program the last two years. She, a the suggestion of an admissions counselor, included a brief description about why she was homeschooled and what advantages it gave her. In addition, she add information regarding the motivations for her to pursue the dual enrollment program and what she has gotten out of it. She also clarified that her high school transcript includes her homeschool transcript from 9th and 10th grade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 My daughter used hers to clear up any potential misunderstandings about her educational path, due to her enrollment in a charter school for homeschoolers, that offers a high school diploma from the local district. She explained a bit about how her education worked (truly homeschooling, not building based) and what homeschooling looked like in our family.

Luckymama Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Dd didn't put anything in that section. All of her information fit in the regular sections (activities, honors, etc) She used the essays to talk about the things that are most important to her. She (and I) worked very hard to craft a narrative about herself so that she could be identified as the girl who studies X and Y, participates in A and B that are related to X and Y, wants to continue with X and Y in college, is interested in pursuing C and D that are related to X/Y/A/B in college, and intends to follow a career path E that is related to everything else. This is not an artificial narrative. This is who dd is, just emphasized. (She has an inteview situation this coming week and will use the same points. As she is nervous about speaking with strangers and is also too modest, remembering the points will help her focus.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Job121 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 It has been very helpful. I am thinking about writing down extra honors and awards. Just 12 days to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
