The one thing a cover can do that a resume can't is express enthusiasm. But you can express enthusiasm at least as well in a paragraph as you can in a page. Probably better.

AST alum, I hear you...these applications are so detailed, I often wondered what the point was of having to submit a résumé when everything is detailed in the application itself.
