CV on PASS?

[armorshell]

Am I just mental, or is there nowhere on PASS to submit a CV?

Curriculum Vitae (CV) or Resume: A summary of an individual's accomplishments, personal goals, employment history, and professional achievements. If the program requires a CV, it must be forwarded directly to the program. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR CV TO ADEA PASS. IT WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

doh

That's a pain. Last year we sent our CV in by mail, and they processed it and included it in the application.

That's annoying~ For some reason I thought I was gonna submit it to pass. I swear I read somewhere it says no more than 2 pages....probably last year's huh...sigh...

Well then, how many pages should I do my CV? I know some of my classmates are making it 3 pages. I've written mine in 2 pages just cuz I thought that's what PASS wants.

Statistics show that people will read what is on the 1st page.
Most people will flip to the second page.
Hardly anyone has time to read the 3rd page.
So they recommend that you keep it to 2 pages.

Shorter = better in my opinion. You should include all pertinent information, but in my opinion 3 pages is a lot of crap to include. That better be some important stuff.

At this point in your career, I would hesitate even putting college stuff on it. Of course you list your college under education, but I'm referring to clubs or accomplishments--unless they are really stellar.

2 pages is a good length, and I'll be honest when I tell you that I don't think many adcoms really delve into the CV. Some of them probably glance at it at best.
