Shana My was two pages and I had no problem at all. Good experience needs to be advertised.
idsh82 thanks for the recommendations. I'm gonna keep it 2 pages and see what happens. If I mess with the margins too much (to try and fit everything on one page) then it looks to screwy.

So, two pages it is. Maybe I will keep 2 versions on of the resume and use both.
Score162 I agree with the other posts. With your accomplishments, I see no reason to sell yourself short. The way I see it, you can one shot to make a first impression..... so take it. Wouldn't you hate for them to come back and say, "She didn't have enough experience."
Wizkid I have always been of the opinion that if you have a lot of real and good experience expand the resume. I have also seen some people make up a one page resume with all there stuff presented in a very truncated fashion on the first page, then expand on it in subsequent pages. Like the first page a cliff notes version and the full book is attached. Know what I mean.
tuvok I say take the gamble. It's not like you would be expanding on a few things in that space. You would actually have new things to contribute to the second page. Unless the school states a strict one page maximum (in that case follow the rules, no matter what), I think that any reader would appreciate a substantive 2 page resume over a crowded one pager.
idsh82 My pre-law adviser thinks that I should expand my resumé to two pages, although I know while you can do that its often not recommended. I've done 4 major internships, have worked around 5 on-campus jobs, have my own biz, am president of this and that and have done some random stuff as well.

As one page, my current resume is very crowded and I've had to take a lot of good things out. Should I leave it as is or take a gamble by doing two pages?
