Sending Resume in with Secondaries???

Members don't see this ad.

What do we think about this? There's no way we could put everything on AMCAS.. should we send out resumes with our secondaries??

Uh, I put everything on AMCAS -- everything that's important anyway. I would discourage sending in an additional resume with your secondaries. These adcoms have thousands of applications to go through and I doubt they have time to go through tons of additional material. I mean, there's a reason why there are character limits on AMCAS and on secondary questions -- they don't want us sending in every little success we've ever had. I would try your best to fit it all on AMCAS and on your secondaries.

Don't send one. I don't remember which schools they were, but I distinctly remember a few saying no resumes, tapes, bulky attachments etc.

just send what they ask for. why be a pain in the ass.

bump...any fresh thoughts on this? send a resume or no?

😕

i'd agree with the post that says everything is on amcas anyway. i say no.

No.

Why do you need to send in a resume? Put your stuff down on AMCAS. That's what it's there for.

Now if you had a CV going, that might be a different story.

I agree with everyone else. It would come across as annoying.
