Did any of you upload your resume for your AROTC Scholarship Application?

[Aristobolus]

Our DS is applying for the second AROTC Board this January. Did any of you upload a copy of a resume into the documents section of the application? Or is that a bit redundant?

A good resume will only add to what kind of person the applicant is. I uploaded a resume because there were things on there that couldn't be explained subjectively, however, the additional remarks section may also help cover anything not mentioned throughout the application. If your DS has a good resume that adds on to whatever else is on the application, definitely add the file!

Might as well just in case, but the board doesn't have time to read it honestly.

It wouldn’t hurt to send it

My advice is a resume can’t hurt, but you should do everything you can to include the info on that resume somewhere in the actual application. Either check a block or explain in the additional information block the significant info from the resume. The biggest mistake I see is including something in the resume that could have been highlighted by checking a block or highlighting in one of essay blocks. The resume and LORs will be read last, if at all.
