Yale Activities Section Forum

[april_ludgate]

So Yale has its fun college activities section where it asks for college internships, employment, and activities "separately from any included résumé." Since I'm a K-JD, that's basically my entire resume, minus skills and interests. Should I bother then submitting the optional resume, since it's just going to rehash the activities section?

If it asks for it, do it. It's literally that simple for this one.

Edit: I feel like this comes off as snarky and that was not my intention. Because they explicitly ask you for this, it's in your best interest to do it even though it's just a rehashing of your resume.

Sorry! I meant should I bother submitting the resume in addition to this section. You have to complete the activities section, but not the resume.

I would include the optional resume even though you're K-JD because it's formatted differently than the activities section. Some readers may prefer to see a resume and others may prefer the other activities section. They'll adjust accordingly if they think they're the exact same thing.

Makes sense. Thanks!
