No, not exactly. Law schools request a resume as part of the application process (they call it a resume, and not a CV). I'm guessing that they intend it to be less formal than an actual CV, but I can't use my professional resume since it's structured around my electronic skills and background.
Just point out that you used to play WoW... which proves that you no longer have friends to distract you from your studies. See? it's ALL a matter of marketing!!!
Gosh, some of the things you wrote about in your statement seemed like extracurricular activities to me. And... you have a daughter and a life. You're not some college kid. It's not like you have all the time in the world to be in geeky clubs.
From what you know of me, what would you include. Also since there's an implication that I'm allowed two pages, would you use both?
At the moment, I've just included my educational summary, and my work summary. I left out a lot of in-between jobs that I normally leave off of my professional resume, (grocery checker, working at Hot Topic, dishwasher, etc.)
In a professional resume, at this point I'd add the skills that I have that paint how I am capable of the job. Knowledge of how to use DMMs, O'Scopes, Spectrum Analyzers. Those skills don't seem appropriate for this sort of resume, though I don't know what the reviewers would be looking for.
And I have no "national" achievements or distinctions; other than being on the Dean's List, which I've already included.

I'm awake too, if it's any consolation.
