Sooo, I'm sure this has been asked somewhere on this site but do I need to put EVERY job I've ever had for the WE section? High school summer jobs? Because that's going to turn into a lengthy, largely irrelevant (at least as it seems to me) section of the app.

On my app I only put my College Internships/jobs. I tutored but I didn't put that. I do have the other work on my resume. I don't associate with my previous work other than for a few points so I don't find it relevant to the application as a whole, but I have it on my resume to highlight that I have been working and that the nature of my work can be compatible with higher thinking, long hours, social atmospheres, etc.

Thanks for the input! I think I'll just put everything on the WE page. I'm trying to keep my resume brief, but still be detailed about my more recent/ relevant WE.

Yea me too. There's just very little room

On the other hand, anything you can't fit can go on your resume.

Also, Duke is doing hidden fee waivers. I have my application done, pending the final revisions to my personal statement and resume, and I saw that my fee had been waived.

Pay fees and submit
Application Waived
Report $30

Yep, that's how I could tell.
