When I first tackled my college application resume, I felt totally lost. I found that breaking it into clear categories helped a lot—education, extracurriculars, and achievements. This structure made it much easier to read.
Including specific details, like hours volunteered or awards earned, also caught the attention of admissions. For example, instead of "helped organize events," I wrote "planned 5 major events for 200+ attendees." It’s all about showing impact!
