Is there a link to the secondary online or do you have to login to a supplemental app page to get to it?... if the latter is the case, can anyone tell me what the essay questions are?

thanks!

Personally, I would be concise...maybe use some like egg-shell light brown heavy stock paper with a weave to it so the adcom folks can "feel" the difference 👍

even George W. Bush could fit his CV on a single page...wait a minute, bad example 😱

Resumes are to be one page, someone should be able to read it in 45 secs. If you are very active, published papers, presented at conferences, volunteered a lot, graduate school, and/or PhD you use a CV (curriculm vitae). It is usually used for academics but it works if you have done a lot. The rule of thumb is no High School stuff usless requested.
