Schools Resume or CV for Graduate School Applications

AI Thread Summary
Graduate school applications often require either a CV or a resume, leading to confusion about which format to use. The individual feels their experience is too limited for a CV but too extensive for a standard one-page resume. They are considering whether to expand their CV to 1.5 pages or condense their information for a one-page resume. The applicant is a soon-to-be graduate with a six-month internship and two years of lab experience. Guidance on the appropriate format for their application would be appreciated.

I have a bit of a dilemma with graduate school applications that I feel many people here would have encountered. Part of the applications requires either a CV or a resume, and I find that the list of my expierences, educations, presentations and awards is a little to short to be considered a CV, and a little too long for a resume. My question is should I write everything out in the format of a CV and have it be about 1.5 pages, or should I cut some things out and have the standrard 1 page resume.

For some quick background, I am graduating this coming spring from my undergraduate institution in the US and have had 1 six month internship in the private sector, and I have worked in a lab with one of the faculty members here for about 2 years.

Any advice would be helpful!

The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
