Hello,

I'm having difficulties with the USC resume format for the supplementals.
I've been asking around about the number of pages for the resume and I've been getting mixed answers.

1) Is 1 page or 2 pages preferred?

I have two pages and I'm not sure if I should cut it short.

2) How particular/picky is the admission committee when it comes to the font/size/spaces of the resume?

Any advice/feedback?

Thank You so much!

Why don't you call Admissions and find out? They should always be contacted with questions if you cannot find it on their website.

I'm in the school of 1 page. Remember, we (as in student/faculty interviewers) dont have much time to go over your resume before we would like to have a nice conversation with you. 🙂

2) How particular/picky is the admission committee when it comes to the font/size/spaces of the resume?

Standard everything. Don't try to stand out. Resume is utilitarian and just make sure we can read and understand what you did clearly.
Any advice/feedback?

Thank You so much!

You're welcomed. 🙂

Like Espada said, call them if you're not sure. You'll get mixed results here; my resume was 2 pages.
