What should I put under resume objective when applying to grad school?

I’m in the process of applying to grad school and there are lots of colleges asking for resumes as part of the application. Should I change the ‘Objective’ to say anything that shows my desire to be part of that college or just leave my resume as is?
Thanks!!

    Take out the “objective” part! Not many people even include that when applying for jobs anymore, and it definitely doesn’t apply for grad school. You’re sending them your resume to show them what you’ve done in the past. Your personal statement should tell them what you want to do in the future.
