Hi everyone! 

I was wondering how y'all formatted the travel and hobbies on your resume.. I have travelled with family and wondering how to add that LOL if anyone doesn't mind posting that section of their resume I would greatly appreciate it it just seems awkward to talk about haha 

Also what size font did you guys use? I'm using 12 I hope that is OK .. 

SO much to do and so little time left but we got this !! Good luck to everyone ❤️

Hi! My resume is still in its rough stages and I'm not sure if I'm including all of this, but this is kind of what I was thinking of how I would format it. I don't think it should be something huge to stress over though!

Thank you so much for sharing! This is really helpful! I have been to a lot of countries since I was little so I might just choose the most recent ones, do you all think that is OK?

Hello, hope everyone is doing well! I just had a question about the addendum and if anyone knows how long can this can be? Is there a format to follow? Also @hilsaevp everyone has the same video essay (obstacle topic) and I think we have 2 or 2.5 minutes? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong sorry

Im honestly not sure how long is has to be, they never gave a requirement. Im only doing one page though. I guess it depends on how much things you’re addressing. 
@Iloveogurachicken im addressing an F I had received sometime during my early undergraduate semester, a C grade, and a W I received as well. So just three things.

Yours looks pretty impressive though! I did mine kind of different im not sure if there’s an exact way we have to format it. I wish they gave more details about that section.

@meghan0808

Yes I agree, your resume is very impressive! Thanks for sharing.

I attended a virtual information session and they said that they are giving us the liberty to format this part of our resume. It really doesn't matter how we format it. They just want to see our other life outside of academics. Hope this helps.

That looks very, very professional.

Would it be unethical to put my entire resume on here for you guys to poke and prod at, and to be brutally honest? LOL, I am very tempted to do so!

You guys are such a supportive group! I hope we all get in because I would love to meet you all!

I do not see why not! Feel like we are all here to support one another!

If you do not feel comfortable sending here, I wouldn't mind taking a look at it for you! I know how stressed I was finding people to read over my work, so would love to help others anyway I can!

Yeah I do think thats totally fine! I have been going back and forth about including the ones from 2008-2010 just because it was so long ago. We will see how it works out with spacing. Thanks everyone- I literally just used a template I found on Google.

Hi y'all, I hope you are all doing well! I just found out about this program not too long ago and now I am scrambling to get this application done. What are your thoughts on addressing my Ws on my transcript in the video essay? I'm not sure I'll have much time left to write the optional addendum. Thank you in advance!
