You have a resume for college? From my experience, they just want you to list the info in text boxes provided within the applications.

Regardless, it looks good overall. I would however, change the order in which things are listed.

Education first (extra-curricular activities or special classes can go here), then work experience, then awards, etc. If you have actual job experience, list the employing company, the city, how long you worked there, and your job title as well as a few of your responsibilities while holding that job position. Multiple jobs should be listed in descending order, with the most recent job/position first, and the oldest last.

If you want, you could list extra-curricular actives just before awards, because you have so many.

 

my brain is fried, i meant resume for letters of recommondation. I'll change the order too, thanks +k

 

I'm not familiar with having a resume' for a letter of recommendation. Typically, one asks for a letter of recommendation for a specific purpose and the person usually knows the individual. Things that should be highlighted in the letter of recommendation are specific to what the applicant is seeking. You have a very impressive array of experiences at such a young age. What are you plans?

I think the comments regarding the order were great.

 

+1 about letters of rec.
