Columbia Resume Requirement
Columbia's application indicates that "the résumé should include a summary of written scholarships, presentations..." What are these exactly in the undergraduate sense? For someone who just did an undergrad degree, what count as "written scholarships"? And we've all done various presentations for classes but what kind of presentations are we to include here? Anyone familiar with Columbia has an idea on this? Thank you.

Re: Columbia Resume Requirement
I think they are referring to presentations at an academic conference, not in-class presentations. The former is often included on academic CVs, but is usually one of the first things axed if there are space constraints and one has actual publications and work experience.
Written scholarships I interpreted as being any kind of merit award or competitive grant.

Re: Columbia Resume Requirement
I'm actually guessing that the real Columbia wording is "written scholarship", which would refer to any published work.

Re: Columbia Resume Requirement
Written scholarship = research that is published in an academic journal or book
Presentations = speaking at academic conferences

Ah yes, what a difference an 's' makes...

Re: Columbia Resume Requirement
Thanks everyone for the input. I double checked the actual wording is "written scholarships" though. Still means publications?

Re: Columbia Resume Requirement
I mean, it kind of has to. Otherwise, it doesn't make any sense, since you wouldn't refer to a financial scholarship as a "written scholarship".Evelyn2016 wrote:Thanks everyone for the input. I double checked the actual wording is "written scholarships" though. Still means publications?
