Does it hurt your application to not include the (optional) resume or CV?

I haven't published anything and I don't have that much to write in a CV, other than my GPA and BA/MA projects, which I already discuss in my SOP.  I just want to leave the optionla resume section blank, but was wondering if this is a bad move.

I think you should submit a CV even just for a backup what you mentioned in your SOP. Maybe you can write about professional or voluntary experiences of yourself. Also I am almost sure you have other things that you could not find space to mention in SOP, if you think throughly, you will see that there are a lot to write on a CV. I wouldn't miss the chance of showing my abilities and potential in another form of document. Good luck!

Thanks, that is good advice.  Also love your username!
