Activities

[dreamer1979]

Dear Adcom,

I see that you encourage us to put activities on our resume. I have been active in extracurricular activites post-college, but was quite active during college as well. Should I list college activities even though it was 5 years ago?

Thanks!

dreamer1979,

It's up to you whether or not you want to include activities from college on your resume. If you have the space to do so, I would suggest adding them. If you have to take more recent information off your resume to add them, I would leave them off. We are more interested in the activities that you've done recently.
