The Univeristy of New Hampshire has put something in writing that we have heard colleges say "off the record" for many years. As part of their Common Application Guidelines mailing that we just received they say the following about Additional Documents:
Many students are submitting resumes and other documents not specifically requested as part of their admissions applications. These documents are unncessary and add little or no value to the application review process since we can read this information from properly completed admissions applications. Wherever possible, we discourage students from submitted resumes and other documents not specifically requested.
I have often wondered why students feel the need to attach a resume to their Common Application after they have filled out the activities section of the Common Application. There is no need to list information twice in two different formats. If you are not sure if or when it is relevant to submit additional information, please ask!
