2 Page Resume, is it ok for this situation?

Hello Apes,

I am a trading executive at a large hedge fund, 10+ years exp trading at BBs and hedge funds, MBA/CFA etc.

I am applying to a specialty PhD program at a top ivy (Harvard/Stanford/MIT).

I haven't put together a resume with the intent to impress in quite some time. From what I recall in my BB associate days, one page is gospel. Death comes to he/she who goes past one page. But in this situation as I am trying to paint my story, I really need a page and a half to have the formatting still work.

Can anyone (perhaps there are some university admissions folk on these boards) let me know their thoughts on this?

 

Hey trailmix8, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
