CV Highlights Form?

[blondie87]

What exactly do they want in this? What is a CV Summary? Excuse my ignorance, I have never done one of these before. Is it just a few paragraphs highlighting the most important aspects of your CV?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yup... 300 words max for 3 activities. So about 100 words for each activity, saying why this helps prove you're gonna be an awesome doctor / med student. I'm trying to include stuff other than what I put in the personal statement.

Thank you very much, Dreamer!

Do you guys think we can do three separate paragraphs that each talk about its own thing or does it have to be one unified paragraph?

Hi guys, are you combining a specific type of activity into 1. For example, I have tonne of teaching experience.. so should I combine them all into 1?

just wondering what you guys are putting down under "Education". Is this like, any sort of teaching we have done, or extra education that WE received??

 

Any insight will be helpful, thanks!

 

i just put my high school and university. I know university is sort of a repeat of the self reported grades, but it's a CV and that's what i normally put under education in a real CV.

Thanks for your help

 

For #hours/week, did you put the #hours you would be in class? (eg. 15h for 5-course term) Or if you're a full time student would it be 40h/week?

 

I don't think hours is applicable, so I didn't indicate it. They know apprx how much time students commit to school.

yeah they can prolly guess from your GPA, etc.

 

btw, I have not entered education in the CV, its redundant, jeez guys.
