Is your resume supposed to be a reflection of your overall application, or an addendum? To be more specific:
1. Is your resume a highlight sheet of everything you have in your application? Meaning it has the same activities and jobs you mentioned in your application so that it can be a one-sheet summary of your application.
OR
2. Is your resume an additional resource in which you list other activities that you could not fit into your application? Instead of re-listing projects and activities already listed in your application, you use it as a supplementary resource and someone would have to see your entire application to get the full picture.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Definitely the former. It should be the same document you would use in the market to find a job, albeit with an education focus as well.
If you look on the forums, a great thread was compiled a few years ago by bb with resume tips: https://gmatclub.com/forum/best-resume-cv-format-templates-117758.html

Agree to that comment!
If you have a totally different set of activities listed in your resume versus your essays, then you will begin to lose credibility.
Most essays will require you to write your best professional/personal stories, where you made an impact. A resume is a snapshot of all the activities where you made impact -in your professional as well as personal life. So, you can see the overlap between these two things.
Essentially what the essays do is give the story behind the bullet point in the resume. The resume pointers address "what you did", but the essays also tell "how you did it" in addition to the "what".
Hope that helps.
