Dear Admission Consultants,
I'd like your recommendation on how to provide details of my extracurricular activities as part of my MBA applications. As a graduate student I was the Head Coach of one of the varsity athletic teams and was responsible for all aspects of running the team including coaching and administration. Furthermore, I used part of my coaching grant to fund the team's activities over these years. Subsequent to that experience, I've been a volunteer coach at a martial arts school for 2 years. However, although I am not paid, I do receive the benefit of a free membership. Unless I use this experience as one of the essay topics, I'm guessing my only option is to include the details in my resume? However, I'm already worried about having to submit a 1 page resume considering that I'm coming from a science background and would like to list my publications.
It's apparent that I'm asking a question I already know the answer to simply due to a lack of other options, but do you have any suggestions if indeed my only option is to include these details in my resume?
I'm only planning on applying at 2 schools, one in Canada which I have a good chance of getting into due to my 710 on the GMAT (620 avg. at that school) and the other being MIT, for the hell of it. The Canadian school does not specify a 1 page resume so I will make a 2 page resume but MIT requires a 1 page resume. I also considered Harvard but I feel like 2 long-shot applications is asking too much from those writing my recommendations (both doctors and professors) and Harvard seems a bit too much of a stretch considering my mediocre GPA (3.5/4.0) and my experience doing research in a hospital setting which is not a high profile position.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi there,
Thanks for your inquiry! Based on the information you provided, we highly recommend that you keep your resume to a single page for any application. If you're going above and beyond that, you're likely including too many details or just simply using too many words. There should be a way to cut down on some of the less important content so that you have sufficient room to include both your involvement (extracurriculars) as well as your publications (very impressive!)
If indeed the essay prompt lends itself to it and your involvement experience is sufficiently robust, you should consider writing about it. Without getting a full sense of your background, it's a bit tough to make the call on this forum.
If you're looking for some guidance on how best to structure your resume or need assistance with brainstorming essay topics let us know. We have many flexible options ranging from hourly services all the way to resume or essay packages to get you what you need. Hope this information helps. Also, feel free to check out our free resources to get you started for your R2 preparation. Best of luck this season!

I know you're asking about the resume but I would certainly consider leveraging this experience for an essay of course topic willing. But this could be a great anecdote and really be far more interesting then the typical "run of the mill" MBA essay. Also, keep your resume to 1pg if possible, there really is no reason at this point in your career and for the application process to have anything longer. Trust me the AdComm will thank you for this!
