Type out the heading for your resume. Your heading will likely not change all that much. You should have your full name, physical address, city, state and zip code, phone number and email address all typed on separate lines with no spaces in between. Be sure your email address and voicemail message are appropriate in case the college needs to contact you.
Create a section to list your education. This is typically the high school you attended, the location, month and year you plan to graduate, your course track, such as College Prep or Advanced Placement, and your GPA and class rank if they're impressive. Generally, you can list a 3.0 GPA or above and a top 15 to 20 class rank, depending on class size.
Add a section below the "Education" section to list your extracurricular activities. These will include any sports, clubs, organizations or groups you participated in during high school, as well as the dates you participated, your role and any associated achievements. This section shows college recruiters that you are an involved student who can juggle multiple roles, which is a requirement for college.
Type out your part-time jobs, internships. volunteer work and nontraditional work, such as babysitting jobs, in an "Employment" section. Again, this section will show college recruiters that you can handle multiple roles. For each position, include the affiliated company, the location, your dates of employment and about three bullet points that outline your job duties.
Keep your college application resume to a one-page length. Generally, most resumes should be just one page. Your goal is to condense your accomplishments and experiences so that college recruiters can decide at a glance if your entire application is worth looking over. It's unlikely that they would make it to a second page.
