Resume vs Questionaire

We sent a letter of introduction to schools along with a resume. After the schools received that they wrote back and sent a questionaire to be returned.

Yes, you are correct they seem to ask for the same information. Our son just filled them out and mailed them back with any additional requests, such as a schedule or a video.

Best of luck to you.

Haven't you declared a few times that your son has signed a NLI with Clemson? Are we, therefore, talking about one such "press release"? Why not just complete the requested material in the desired format from the school your son has signed with?

Its a question that comes up here time and time again.. Chillout!!!

Your son should complete the questionaire no matter how mant times they send it and even if you include a resume.. Schools often mark the questioniares in their own code (don't try to figure it out, they are all different) and the do track some of the questionaires they send out to see if the get a response.. It is suggested that you make a copy of your replies the first time a school send one to you, you do't want to accidently put down different info on the second one, they sometimes will compare.. The filling out of questionaires is tedious but a necessity.. We always include my sons printed profile along with the questionaire as it was more detailed.

Penrod,
I have gone through this process, if you look carefully you will read my last sentence which states "I was wondering if anyone has any imput on this for anyone who is just going through the process". I already did what I had to do, aren't we here to help others? I have only declared once where my son was going, it's been posted by others.
Thanks Justmom. Someone asked me if my son ever sent a resume to any of the schools, he never did. Your explanation will certainly help others.

bb50, feel free to state where he is going as much as you would like. That is what this site is about. I for one appreciate your posts.

Thank you!

Well here is my thought on a resume. My oldest was a swimmer. He wasn't getting alot of interest. So we sent out a fancy letter along with a resume that included his swimming accomplishments along with other things at school and the community. Schools would send him a questionnaire if they were interested and it went on from there. My baseball player son had schools contacting him with a questionnaire so the resume wasn't as impt of a factor. I would think that a baseball player who is not getting letters, contacts from schools would find a resume as a great selling tool. It is like going out to buy a car. The sales brouchure is just an invitation to learn more about the car. A baseball resume would be the same an invitation to learn more about the player!

Oh I forgot to say that the swimmer son really did get a swimming scholarship! I truly believe the resume made the difference!
