Hey guys, quick question for anyone who's filled out the form. On the portion of the Activities Record called the resume, it says to use the template provided, which I think I was emailed by my ALO, but the template doesn't really feel like it actually answers the questions the Activities Resume asks, i.e. if you've seen it the template states gpa, but nothing about AP/ Honors classes, and also doesn't follow the same structure as the Activities Resume. I'm real confused right now, so if anyone can explain that'd be great. Or maybe just describe to me how you wrote your resume? Thanks!
 
My understanding is that the template is that text box on the form. You just fill each section in with a list of what they ask for.
 
Is there any expectation that I describe the activities/ accomplishments I'm listing? Should I be explaining the my leadership roles by saying what specifically I did, or is it just straight up a bullet point list? I'm kinda concerned about the 'be as complete as possible' portion
 
"Be as complete as possible" means don't miss anything. Each of the sections starts with a command word telling you what to do. The first one says "list", the next says "describe", so I assume you would describe your leadership positions in the second section. Although, you have a 10,000 character limit so keep that in mind. Basically, just write what it says to write. :)
 
I’ll add this, from talking with my ALO, Admissions Counselor, and various other people, don’t not add ANYTHING. Even the smallest things like doing an odd job for your neighbor, or doing something like a neighborhood clean up once a year can help. Don’t be afraid to list anything, even if it is super small. Obviously prioritize bigger/more important things first, but if there’s room add those smaller ordeals.

It’s the little things in life ;)
