To gain a fuller understanding
of your experiences so far,
we ask that you include a copy
of your most recent
resume or CV,
alongside your application to
the Ford School
of Public Policy.
Remember, there is no
typical Ford School student.
Our cohorts include recent
bachelor's graduates,
individuals considering
a career change
after decades in a field,
and everything in between.
When compiling
your resume or CV,
aim to include work experience,
including relevant
policy work, internships,
volunteering, and
extracurricular activities.
Plan to focus on substance
more than format,
with most important
work experiences
being anything
related to policy,
your field of interest,
as well as anything
you've devoted
significant amount of time
to outside of the classroom.
Ideally, your resume
or CV will be
about one to two
pages in length and
focus primarily on the
past ten years or so.
Yes, for our applicants applying
right out of undergrad,
that does mean you can include
relevant experiences from
both high school and college.
And for all of our applicants,
we look forward to learning
more about your journey
and how you can
make a difference
here at the Ford school.
