  • What Is an Enhanced Resume?

    • Your resume is your chance to show who you are—not just what you’ve done. An enhanced resume goes beyond listing jobs or activities. It helps us see your interests, accomplishments, and how you’ve made a difference in your school, community, or workplace.

      • Include things like

        • Academics | GPA, honors, awards, or special projects.
        • Involvement | Clubs, sports, volunteer work, or leadership roles.
        • Community & Work Experience | How you’ve helped others or gained real-world skills.
        • Skills  & Interests | What you’re good at and what you enjoy doing.
        • Personal Statement (2–3 sentences) | A short section at the top that shares what motivates you, what you care about, or what you hope to achieve in college.
      • Think of your enhanced resume as a way to tell your story—your strengths, your goals, and what makes you a great fit for the Honors Program.

Watch your email inbox for your invitation to Step 4 of the Honors Program application process—In-Person Interviews! Applicants will be notified by Thursday, January 15.
