@IsabellaRinaldi I'm not a pro by any means, but I'm also applying this cycle as an undergrad, and I don't see GPA anywhere on any sample resumes I've seen.
@IsabellaRinaldi late but replying in case others come across this in the future. I would add GPA if it's median or above for your target school - essentially drawing attention to it. And leave it off if it isn't as competitive.
Is there a recommended page length? I have my current regular resume at 2 pages but I can adapt to 1 page pretty easily, if that is preferred by schools
I learned to keep it 1 page in general, but i'm not sure if that is the same for law school apps! I'm personally trying to just keep it at one page so its concise

If applying as a current undergrad student, do you put your GPA or do you not need it because its already submitted with the transcript?

How far can I include? Or should I keep the last 3 recent jobs

@KabirPuri Two pages max is recommended. Law schools bypass the usual 1 page rule for resumes
Thank-you to the law gods... for this, for all this.
