Grad Apps: Length of Resume?

[foreverbull]

How long should resumes be for graduate school applications?

I've been telling students to include relevant experiences regardless of length, but one of my students heard that reviewers won't read past the first page. Any selection committee members want to weigh in?

I read it all. Don't fluff it. I read that too, and I recognize it. Clear, concise, and accurate. I suspect 2-3 pages for most would be appropriate to cover experiences/expertise.
