For a grad school application, you may want to consider a curriculum vitae which is more common in academia; see the following site for info on CVs and samples:
Writing Curriculum Vitae
As you prepare your resume or CV, bear in mind that you're selling yourself as a grad student, not as an employee. Refer to the university catalog and in particular the description of the program you're applying for to determine what they're looking for in a student, and be sure to include that information. Because you're starting, your resume or CV will probably be short - that's OK.
