Resume Requirement
All students applying to the Tippie College of Business submit a resume as part of their application to the college.
The submission of a resume is required so that all students entering the Tippie College will have a basic resume in preparation for additional activities that require a resume. Some scholarship applications require resumes, some majors have a "Meet the Firms Night" or a professional preparation seminar their first semester in the major, registering with HireaHawk.com (professional development workshops and internships), and in working with your advisor on your roadmap (to identify areas where you need more professional development—skills, leadership, service, and involvement).
In general, resumes should contain information regarding the applicant's education, work experience, and community service, and honors and awards, and they should be free of distracting errors in grammar, usage, and syntax.
Resume writing resources and sample resumes can be found on the Career Guide located on the Pomerantz Center website. Please review the following documents before submitting your resume:
- Resume formatting checklist
- Creating detailed bullet points
- Power Verbs for your resume

Resume Scoring
In order to be admitted, applicants must receive a passing score on their resume. Resumes are scored in the areas of clear presentation, individual distinction, and grammar usage and syntax.
Applicants who do not receive a passing score on the resume will be notified prior to the semester ending so that they can make corrections and resubmit by an established deadline.
For more information, please refer to the Standard Admission FAQ.
