Hi there,
In the Ross Application, they ask to list research experience, publications, awards all in a small box and I am not even able to put in more than three lines there. Can we submit a resume along with the application and write in that tiny space to refer to the resume?

just fill out the application with key points...it's really no big deal. Print out and attach the essay.

Would it be alright to attach a resume? Have any of you done that?
I understand the key points thing. The essay is only 300 words and I feel that I wouldn't be able to cover much of my experiences etc. in just the essay and the point making in the application. I'd feel so much better if I could attach a resume with it. :)

Attachments would not hurt. GO ahead, it might help you.

Yes, go ahead and submit a Curriculum Vitae that highlights your education, research, etc. Work experience should be included as an experience factor only. A resume that highlights your work experience above your education and academic degrees and experiences is less appropriate.

Feel free to attach extra pages as you feel they may assist the faculty is realizing that you are a good candidate.
