UPenn Resume
I’m putting together my applications, and I’ve trimmed down my resume a bit to make it fit in two pages.
UPenn is throwing me for a loop, though. Their prompt says to account for “all time periods” (whatever that means) and to indicate all your professional and extracurricular activities.
If I were to do this, and use a reasonable font size, my resume would easily spill onto 4 pages. And I don’t think that would be to my benefit at all.
I’ve checked their instructions and JD application page, and I can’t find more explicit guidance on what they expect from a resume, but they way the prompt reads makes it seem as if they want to see every. single. thing. you’ve. ever. done. But there’s just no way this is what they actually want, right?
