A comprehensive high school resume is another important component of a student's college application. The resume is used for two distinct purposes:

1) Uploaded into a student's CommonApp. It allows college admission's counselors to see a list view of the student's GPA, extra-curricular involvements, work activities, volunteering hours, etc.

2) Resumes are given to a student's college recommenders. Teachers, counselors, advisors, etc. prefer to have a student resume before they write a letter of recommendation. Providing a resume allows your recommender to write a better letter on your behalf.
