<p>It seems like applicants can go anyway they want with the resume bit. I've kept my resume for all the interviewing/applying I've had to do for activities/programs over the years, but I've always kept it to one page. My dad went to a speaker in town who started that IvyBound program (and has probably made millions by charing thousands of dollars to get kids into college--what a sham). Anyway, she passed out a bunch of sheets, and included a few sample resumes that had gotten kids into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. These resumes were 3 to 4 pages each, and were overkill. However, they were nicely formatted, and gave brief descriptions of each event/activitiy/honor/etc.</p>
<p>So basically, the point is, length isn't what's important. Yes, keep your description of each activity to a sentence or so, but say what you need to say to get the point of your involvement across.</p>
<p>Another tip they gave was to put a brief summary of youself as a person/student at the very top of the resume, to emphasize the passions discussed later. A resume is a lot like the essays I guess; it all depends on how you present yourself with it.</p>
