What should be the optimum length of resume who has done BS in Comp Science, BA in Math and have been active researcher during undergrad (only 1 publication though)?
 
If you have no professional working experience, the rule of thumb is to keep everything within 1 page. If it does not fit, it means you have too many irrelevant things there.

Because i could not get you to the other thread, i brought the other thread here:


Both CMU and MIT ask in application for long term and short term career goals? How long in years is long term and how short is short term? Is short term after graduation?​
Really value your opinion Andy so looking forward to hear from you​
 
Yes, the schools want to know what you plan to do with their degree so everything starts from the moment you graduate from that program.
I don't know if there is a definite answer for this but in the context that you are all graduate students looking for first job, short-term is for as long as you are still consider junior in the industry (anywhere from 3-5 years). After that is long term.
 
Do people usually include test scores (eg GRE, TOEFL etc) in the resume for MFE application?

Or is the norm to exclude this since it's separately reported to the school?
