They have a selection process through which they select candidates; your resume can certainly give you a push through this selection process. Your college resume will be your formal introduction to the college authorities.

In the resume, you should highlight your educational qualifications more than anything, as that is what matters the most. The selection panel is more inclined towards candidates with good grades. If you are good in extracurricular activities, highlight those too, they definitely boost your chances of admission. Colleges also are interested in candidates that are good in sports or any other such activity. Many colleges even give full or partial scholarships for such candidates.

Next, highlight all the participations you did for your college in any function or have represented the college in any event or competition. This shows your eagerness and willingness to participate in events and this is definitely a plus point for the admission panel to consider.

Finally, follow simple steps like proof reading and checking the resume for grammatical errors. It does not look nice if a college graduate has errors in their resume. Plus, having a resume is good practice for the future. Make a professional looking college resume for landing admission in a good college for further education.
