start getting those letters of rec. those take the longest. The essay is the next thing I would start.
When you talk about essay, are you speaking of the personal statement? Is there a special format that most people use when they write their PS?
Yes, personal statement. You have 4500* characters(including spaces) to tell them why you want to go to med school.
* if it's the same this year
sure, get your personal statement together...

do we need a resume?
do we need a resume?
For some schools you do. I believe I remember including one for CCOM.
You need a CV for CCOM. In the sciences and medical fields you usually uses CV's, not resumes.
You won't submit your activities in a resume format. Instead, you fill out each activity separately. An up-to-date resume is useful, though, to keep your activities and accomplishments organized.
CCOM and AZCOM ask for resumes/CV's as part of their secondary application.
