  1. In case anyone else has this issue, I emailed a the graduate office of a few of the schools that I'm applying to. They all said to list the undergrad institution twice (once for each major).
  2. Would anyone be willing to critique my SOP for me? It's still going through revisions but I'd like some more input before I finalize it. Thank you!
  3. I'm a double major in Biology & Biotechnology, and Biochemistry. When filling out this information on PhD applications, how do I list this information? Should I enter my undergrad institution twice (once for each major), or is there a better way?

    CV or Resume

    When applying to graduate schools, is a CV or resume better? Or does it totally depend on this situation? I'm an undergrad applying to biology PhD programs. My resume is one page and pretty strong. I feel that with the added space in my CV I was able to elaborate further and touch on things outside my biology related experience such as leadership roles and my involvement in organizational leadership programs. The only downside with the CV is that it is 2 pages vs 1 for a resume. Will this be extra and not read as close, or do you think the extra information will help me? Thanks!

Is this way too far out there to be realistic? I'm interested in pursuing Stem Cell/Regenerative Medicine research in school and want to make the transition to industry afterwards. Any advice you guys have would be great. Thanks!
