Resume Length

<p>Hello! I'm currently working on perfecting my resume for my November 1st deadline and had some questions.
Is it really an unwritten rule that resumes should be 2 pages? I understand that it's not good to come across as doing too much, or making it seem like it's "compensating" for lack of grades. I'm not trying to "compensate" in anyway, I just genuinely am involved in a lot of things.
Right now I'm at 2 and about 4/5 pages. Does anyone have any tips on how I can cut it down?</p>

<p>I don’t know where you heard that rule. The real unwritten rule is that resumes should be only 1page long</p>
