I was super confused about what to include on my high school resume when I started applying to colleges. Here’s what worked for me:
- Education: I listed my GPA and relevant coursework. This gave the admissions folks a quick idea of my academic strengths.
- Extracurricular Activities: I included clubs and sports, but really focused on my leadership roles. For example, I was the president of the debate club, which showcased my skills pretty well.
- Awards and Honors: Don’t skip this! Whether it was academic or volunteer-related, it’s good to highlight what you’ve earned.
- Volunteer Work: This shows you care about your community. Be specific about how many hours you dedicated to each project.
Keep it clean and easy to read! I also played with the formatting to make it visually appealing—not just a wall of text. Hope this helps!
