简历，Resume/CV(Curriculum Vitae)，是申请美国大学研究生的基础材料，是 对于个人经历的概括。

我们对于简历的看法，通常会陷入“全面罗列”又“缺失核心”的误区。全面罗 列是事无大小、巨细都想列在简历里面；缺失核心，是因为不了解简历的范式， 对 留学申请准备不足，造成简历里面不能体现代表个人竞争力的荣誉、学术的信息。 

我们先来看看简历的要求：

 Carnegie Mellon University 卡内基梅陇大学“Submit your current Resume. Outline your education, research experience, work experience, publications, scholarships awarded, prizes and honors received, society memberships, and any other extracurricular activities.”

所以，简历应包含以下几个部分的内容： 

1、基本信息：姓名拼音、电话、电子邮箱、地址； 

2、概要(可选)：个人特点一句话概括，申请目标一句话概括； 

3、教育背景：就读大学、专业、GPA、毕业日期 

4、经历(重点)：分两个部分，一个是研究及学术经历，一个是实践或工作经历； 

5、活动(重点)：重要的校园、社会活动，重点是能够体现领导力的活动； 

6、荣誉和获奖(重点)：不论大小的荣誉和获奖，获奖时间； 

7、其余补充内容：擅长的工具、擅长的技能； 

第 1、2、3、7 项的内容并不是核心，而 4-5-6 项是学校希望看到的重点，所以 这个部分的内容一定要整理出来。在此基础上，我们设计《活动表单》一项档案， 旨在帮助同学们把 4-5-6 项所涉及的内容详细的整理出来。在简历里面，只需要体 现 4-5-6 项的概要，即参与的内容和结果。对于 4-5-6 项的内容，如果特别重要， 和申请文书密切关联，就要在文书里面对具体经历、挑战、成长、收获进行描述， 以便审核的老师详细了解你的背景。
