I've been working on my resume for college applications, and I'm not sure if I should include my high school information on it. Would putting my high school name and graduation year be helpful for admissions officers or should I keep it off?
Including your high school information on your college resume can be beneficial, as classic resume formats include a section for your education history. However, keep in mind that this information will already be present in other parts of your application, such as your transcripts and the school report.
While it's a good idea to include your high school details on your resume for professional appearance, remember that the focus should be on showcasing your extracurricular activities, community service, work experiences, and any awards or achievements you have received. After all, these are the aspects of your resume that will help you stand out, by providing a comprehensive representation of your abilities and interests.
Best of luck with your college applications!
