californiahopefulpa Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hi All, I am in the midst of applying and have a question about the CV/Resume upload. One of the schools I am applying to does not talk anywhere about uploading a CV/Resume but when I click on Program Materials in CASPA, it gives me the option to upload. Should I upload or no because the school didn't explicitly say to. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtpnw Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 No. This is only necessary if requested by a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I was wondering this same question... I assumed that I should just upload it since they provided the space for us to do so? Or should I just skip it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only necessary if programs ask for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiahopefulpa Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 The only reason why I was stumped was because it said that it was recommended to upload but not required. So in the end I decided to upload it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiahopefulpa Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 @Earlthe For instance, I applied to Chapman University and under the documents tab they recommended you upload a cv and certifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same thing Yes, they would ask for it in the documents tab. Or possibly as part of a supplemental application, which may not be on CASPA? Either way it would be explicitly stated. To my knowledge programs that ask for a CV/resume are in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
