Research Paper "submitted" on CV?

I'm totally confused on this.

So I submitted a paper to a journal with a mentor of mine and it's on it's second revise/resubmit to the journal.

Do people list those on CVs for graduate school? I actually looked at a ton of faculty CVs, and I noticed that some have it, some don't.

Note that this is different from in press, as it has not been accepted.

Do a lot of people have "in prep" sections when applying to graduate school---I am worried that it seems mildly grandiose.

It's not a huge deal as I already have a couple of papers under my belt that are fully published, but hey, the more the merrier! I want a long ***** CV! LOL

Earlier in your career (e.g., at the undergrad, grad school, and internship levels), I think most people would expect you to include these types of entries in your CV. As you become more accomplished, people then seem to shy away from including these types of entries (as well as things like acknowledgments in articles/posters).

So in a word, yes, I would include it in a CV for a grad school application.

from what i've seen, it's common to have two categories:

1) published/in-press
2) submitted/in review

and sometimes a third section for "in-prep", although this is more common among grad student CVs. anything can technically be "in prep", right?

If you're writing your CV in the Harvard format (a standard CV format) then strictly speaking you cannot include papers that have not been accepted for publication. But if it's really in review, I don't think anyone would be offended if you included it.
